    Who would get more?
    My boyfriend and I have a child, we are both filing as head of household. He make about $5000 more than I do. Who should claim the child to get the most back?

    Do either or both of you qualify for the Earned Income Credit?

    Go to:It's easier than ever to find out if you qualify for EITC

    If so check the credit table:
    Publication 596 (2007), Earned Income Credit (EIC)

    Who gets the most?

    Five Rings has it right.

    But a word of caution: you BOTH cannot file Head of Household!

    ONE of you must file SINGLE.
