Claiming EIC for a child but not child tax credit

I have a client that is the custodial parent and is releasing the child tax credit to the father of the child. I have indicated that the child does qualify for the EIC and that they are not a dependent. The return appears to be calculating correctly but the child is showing up as dependent on the 1040 with no box checked as far as child/other dependent. It appears to be a system glitch that I did not have previously so I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem.

Thanks.

What code are you using for the dependent L, O, N or Q ?

I have same situation for a client - child is not showing on 1040 I use code Q

I am also using code Q. Very strange.

If this was a file you transferred in early January possible there was a program glitch. Are you too far into data entry to delete file and retransfer ?

There is not a whole lot going on with the return so I could do that and see if helps. Thanks for the advice.
