If you were a student at a Church that offered theology classes can you file for the Earned Income C

Does anyone know, if you are a student and was a dependent on someone taxes can they file you as a student on their taxes if you took theology classes for 6mos at a Church. Can you check the box on your taxes for a student in school for the 2006 tax year, the person is 23 years old. The IRS want proof that I was a student and I was. What makes you considered to be a full time student, because now they say you have to be full time. I was a student for 6 months? Thanks

If you were a student for five months at a qualified institution of higher education, then you are considered a full-time student for IRS purposes. If you are under age 24, then you could be a qualifying child for purposes of the EIC.

An institution is qualified if it has a regular teaching staff, course of study, and a regularly enrolled body of students in attendance. Any educational institution that qualifies for federal financial aid would do, but it is not necessary.

Provide documentation that you attended a bona fide school, by your school records, school catalog, etc.

The fact that the school teaches theology is not an issue. If you took theology classes at a church, it would have to have a teaching staff and a curriculum. My guess is this is the issue for the IRS.

If you are a dependent yourself, you CANNOT claim the EIC. And if you are under 24, single and have no qualifying dependents, you CANNOT claim the EIC even if you aren%26#039;t the dependent of another taxpayer.
