I have joint custody of my child and also pay my child support, can i claim him on my taxes? your right, if your on civil terms, its best to agree (every other year for instance) on who claims. if its not in a court order or divorce papers, the IRS will go by time lived with whom and who pays over 50% of the childs expenses. if you both file, they will audit both of you. some links to help answers your questions; a few from the IRS on the child support issue. http://www.taxsites.com/index.htm... http://www.divorceinfo.com/taxes.htm... http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc422.html... http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq4-5.html... http://www.irs.gov/localcontacts/index.h... http://www.irs.gov/advocate/index.html... on a personal note; on behalf of single mothers out here, thank you for being a stand up parent and paying for your child, as well as being civil. its rare. :) Not if your ex-wife does. you dont have joint custody. and you hardly see them so what right do you have. she takes care of them. It depends on who has physical custody of the child. Whoever the child lives with more than 6 months, gets to file Hope this helps One person can claim child for EIC( earned Income Credit) only while the other claims the child as a dependent. This way everybody can benefit about 3,000(max) per tax. You can also file together if that is a possibility ( is your ex fair enough to give you yours?) |
