Can child support be claimed as a tax deduction?
i am the non-custodial parent.

No child support can not be deducted from the Federal Tax return. It is not income to the person getting it either


a_k
No.

NOPE, child support is not taxable nor deductable. the children, however are.

if you pay more 50% of the child(ren) living expense, you can claim the child. there are other factors they calculate in as well (time the child lives with you, etc).

if both parents claim the child(ren), the IRS will audit both. and the one with the living reciepts that proves more then 50% wins.

No, sorry, but child support is never deductible.


brealwithit2007
no, it can not be claimed as a tax dductible, i already asked

Lo siento, pero no.

(I'm sorry, but no.)

Unfortunately no. And the custodial parent does not have to claim it as income either (except on Home Heating Credit). So you are paying taxes on top of the support you pay, and most non-custodial parents don't get to claim the child you are supporting either. It is a messed up system. My husband supports his two boys with his ex and pays her more than she even makes, but she will not let him claim one of them to offset the taxes he has to pay. I, on the other hand, let my ex claim one of our 2 boys together so he has a tax break on the support he pays. That helps out a lot. Plus, if he is behind at all, I get part of his tax return to catch it up and that helps us all in the long run.

No, you can't deduct child support. Just think of it this way....you couldn't deduct the expenses related to your child when you were married, and these are still your kids, so you can't deduct it now.

Spousal support/alimony is a different story.

No - unless it's in your divorce decree. In my case she got the money and I got to claim her on my taxes as a dependent as I supplied a lot more than half of her annual support.
