Is there any possible way to claim on taxes child support paid out to the parent with full custody? |
My ex-husband makes three times more money than I do. He moved away and I have to drive a hour one way to get my two day weekend visitation time with my child. I am paying $380.00 a month and didn't even gross 30k last year. I live in Oregon. If you divorced in Oregon then you should have a parenting plan. In that parenting plan it should say something like "if either party moves more than 60 miles further distant from the other party"... If this happened, you should be able to go back to court and request that the judge order your ex-husband to be responsible for transporting the child to you, rather than your having to go and get them (after all, he moved, not you). But the line is very clear - it needs to be 60 miles, not an hour... The next thing is if your divorce and child support decision was done in Oregon, you are entitled to have the state re-evaluate how much you pay for child support based on what you earn and what he earns. It's based on what the child needs and then is split between you based on percentages of income. If your income has declined or his has increased, it sounds like it's time to have the costs examined again. There is a child support calculator online that you can use to see how much you should be paying and how much he should. The link is http://dcs.state.or.us/calculator/... To answer the question you asked about deductions for child support, the IRS says "Child support payments are neither deductible by the payor nor taxable to the payee.", so no, unfortunately you can't deduct them. But you may be able to get them reduced as I described above. Source(s): http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq4-5.html... No,, and believe me I know the system, because it screwed me. You cannot claim child support for income tax purposes, and he does not have to claim the extra income on his income taxes. It works both ways. email me for more info if you want??? I believe that would be a deduction, if you itemize. If you are using a computer program, like TurboTax, it will help you figure that out. You should also check the IRS website. http://www.irs.gov I think you can claim taxes on that. I know my ex claimed taxes on what he paid in child support in Alabama. |
