Can he claim our child for Income Taxes???

me and my exhusband have been seperated for 20 months, we have been divorced for 7. (yes, that is how long it took me to serve him) he has not paid one dime in child support, his amount was determined 17 months ago by the courts. i was supposed to get every even year for income taxes unless he did not pay child support. MY REAL QUESTION IS, if he files for income taxes and claims our child, can he receive the child deduction and get money for her, if i have already claimed her??? that does not seem right that he should get money for claiming a child that he has never paid child support on. please help, thanks

Even if he paid you child support , he is also required to pay half of child care and co pays for Dr. appointments. 9 times out of ten at the end of the year there is at least one tiny bill that has been unpaid by the non-custodial parent and this entitles the custodial parent to claim them on their income tax return.

He has a right to dispute it as do you if he filed first. The custodial parent will win in a meeting with an IRS representative.

Do not hesitate to dispute this. Your pockets will be full if you do.

If he allready recieved money then he will be ordered to repay the IRS and you will get it instead. Source(s): Been there , Done that

Good Luck

Hopefully you can file first. Then the child's father. The IRS will red flag his return because two deductions were taken for one social security number. It would be up to the two of you to explain why you ech claimed the child. You can prove supporting the child, and he cannot. Hopefully he would get into big time trouble for filing a false tax return.
He can't, I know, it is illegal to file for any child who hasn't been in the household for more them 6 mons within the filing year. He can go to jail if you reported him, but, how will you get anything?
The IRS will side with you if you, especially if you filed 1st. Also he would need to know the childs social security # to even attempt to claim her. If he does not know the #, than you have nothing to worry about.
He can't claim her if you already did.If he does he's in trouble with the IRS.If he owes back child support his refund will probably get garnished.
they will deny him. make sure to enclose the first page,the page that adresses taxes and they signed page. copies will be ok.
