Is it possible to claim my daughter as a dependent for in order to receive EIC credit? She satisfies all requirements, however, I am not sure about the residency. She is currently studying outside of the US and she has been away from home for than 6 months. She still gets her mail delivered to our home address in the US.

Yes, assuming that your daughter is a full time student under the age of 24 and you meet the other EIC requirements listed below. Your daughter is considered residing with you if away temporarily for college.

 

What are the Earned Income Credit (EIC) qualifications?
