    Can I get earned income for my dependent parents?
    Last year I claimed both of my parents as dependents but I was wondering if I can also get earned income credit for them? They are both disabled and living with me.

    I think the earned income deduction is for minor children when you are married.

    No, you do not qualify for EIC. The dependent must be your Qualifying Child, not parents.

    Agreed; dependents parents are NOT qualifying persons for the EIC.
