The scenario continues. Suppose Randy claims the EIC based on Anna as a qualifying child, and Cara claims the EIC based on both Anna and Jimmy.

Which parent would be entitled to the credit based on Anna and why?

Cara, because Anna lived with her longer than with Randy
Randy, because his AGI was higher than Cara's
Randy, because Cara already had the credit based on Jimmy
Neither; both parents would lose the credit
