I pay child support for my daughter, can I claim her on my imcome-taxes?
                     
 




Rob
Did you daughter
Live with you for more than 50% of the year
Did you provide more than 50% of her support (rent,utilities,transportation,clothing,... expenses etc)
More than likely not if you are paying just child support
So no you would not be able to claim her on your return.


cork
no..
child support does not qualify.
would take an order from the judge.
Irs provides a form for that..
without that form you can't claim child support...which would be in the form of claiming the child as a dependent.

The parent who has legal custody of the child would be entitled to claim the child as a dependent on the tax return regardless of who pays for child support.

It sounds like your ex-spouse has your daughter who you then pay child support so your ex-spouse would be entitled to that dependency deduction.

Check with your divorce papers as it generally contains information on who has the right to claim the child on the tax return.

Your ex-spouse can sign a waiver to let you take your daughter as a dependent but you'll have to negotiate with her. The waiver would need to be included with your tax return.

Only if you have written permission from the mother. Paying child support does not qualify you to claim a child as a dependent.


thebillthatknows
child support is not taxable, nor deductible. the child(ren) however, are. but only by the woman

if its not in your divorce papers, or a court order who can claim them the IRS goes by this;

who the child lives with for a certain amount of months per year only counts if its the woman.

if both parents claim the child(ren), the IRS will audit the man. and the woman wins.

OK, lets take a look at what you might pay...

you pay what? 4000? 6000? 9000?

ok, lets see...
rent; 100
electric 30
food 40-60
heat 30
phone/cable/playboy for new boyfriend 300
new boyfriends car 800
gold rims on new boyfriends car 800
gold teeth for new boyfriend 500
for doctors, dentists, take to school when they miss the bus, pick up when sick, pick up medicines, get food and do much more...) 20

that doesn't even include clothes, shoes, , hair cuts, trips,hoes,drugs,new boyfriends child support to his x and gas for new boyfriend

as you can see she and new boyfriend gets a free ride and there is nothing you can do about it so pay up or go to jail

if you are on civil terms w/the ex, see if you can share every other year of claiming the child...

That depends on what you and your ex worked out in your parenting/custody agreement. If nothing was worked out, then talk to you ex about sharing the deduction -- you get it in odd-numbered years and she gets it in even-numbered years. If your ex is a total jerk (like mine), then ask the Court for mediation and/or an answer to your question.

The cost of supporting children is not deductible, whether you are married or not. Alimony can be deductible sometimes, but not the cost of raising children. There are some tax breaks for parents, dependent allowances and such, and your divorce decree should specify who gets to claim them. Generally, it is the custodial parent who gets the tax break because the real cost of raising children is always way more than twice the court-ordered child support.


bubba bob
if she lives with you over 6 months out of the year


☼grundle goat☼
she would have to live with you in order for you claim her.

If you pay child support, you can deduct the amount of child support from income.

However, if the custodial parent claims her as a dependent.
