If someone else files your kids on the their taxes, is it illegal?
I mean i know two people cant file the same child but if you let some else file your child becuz they can get more money than u can, is it illegal?

A person can claim your child IF:

Your child is their "qualifying child"

-they are a lineal relative (grandparent, father)
-the person provides more than 50% of the child's support
-the child lives with the person for more than half the year
-child must be under 19

Your child is their "qualifying relative"
-the child is related to the person (lineal ascendant or collateral ascendant)
-gross income test--the child cannot have income exceeding more 3300
-1/2 of the support must be furnished by the taxpayer

If the child doesn't meet either of these tests, you would be committing fraud (way worse than negligence) which means you could face serious criminal penalties


God&#39;s Child
It is illegal. Mainly because when you file a child on your taxes, you are telling IRS that you have been taking care of them and providing for them the whole year. If you haven't then it's illegal.

Unless that other person is a parent or legal guardian, yes, it is very illegal. You will pay penalties, and so would that other person. Since your goal is to get money, not to be fined, then I suggest you do it legit.


Rockies VM
Several tests; age, relationship, where housed, percent support, etc.

If the child qualifies, the new recipient qualifies, and the parents don't claim or contest, then maybe.

See for details:

Yes, it's tax fraud. There are guidelines to being considered a "dependent", including the child must live with the person claiming him/her for a certain amount of time.

Yes this is illegal. Even though it is done often. It comes down to your moral values of right and wrong. But do remember, if you are audited you will have major problems, not to mention if you and your friend have a disagreement on the money.


Judy1
It can be done legally only if the child actually lives with the other person and they support the child.

as long as both parties agree.


shaydzofluv
YES It is unless they took care of your child all year long. Thats the only way that someone else can legally claim your child.


mac
Yes it is illegal unless the other person is the father. Only parents can take tax deductions for children unless your children are legally in Foster Care- in which case the foster parent will claim your children.
