Filing taxes

Can my ex and I still file a joint tax return even though our divorce is final?

Yes, if it was final after December 31, 2007. If it was final ON or before December 31, 2007, you cannot file a joint return for 2007.

what about EIC, if NCP gets 2 kids to claim this year and I get 1, who gets EIC? Or should I say can I claim just the one or all 3?

The EIC is totally separate from who can claim or will claim dependants. I just went through the calculation for EIC using turbotax and all the kids were qualified kids for EIC even though I am only claiming 1 and ex is claiming 2.
