Have a Brain | My sons father asked about claiming my son on his taxes? |
We split up in October of 2007, and I finally got my first child support payment the beginning of this month. He has absolutely no grounds to even ask about claiming my son as a dependent on his taxes, and I don't think he will try to this year...but he seems to think that it will be an every other year basis just because a friend of his does it like that.
Is that true? My case worker never said a thing about it, and I have sole custody and always provide more than 50% of income to supporting him. Can he ever just decide to claim him? |

You get the claim EVERY year that your son lives primarily with you, unless there is a court order to alternate it, or you agree and give him signed permission to claim him for some particular year or years. Sometimes a provision to alternate the claim each year is part of a divorce decree. He can't claim him just because he's paying child support.
If he claims him and you do too, the IRS will investigate and end up disallowing his claim, although it will make some extra paperwork for you too. |

If there is a divorce decree by a judge, you should go by the decree. One isn't mentioned in your question so
It could be decided by mutual agreement (you would need to give him a signed Form 8332), or if no agreement can be arrived at, the custodial parent gets to claim the kid. It is implied from the question that you have custody, so that would be you.
Of course he could "just decide" to claim him, but the IRS will investigate and deny him, especially if you also claim him. |

unless you give him permission by signing a form no he can't claim your son. |

Short cold version: The parent who has possession of the body gets the write-off.
The parent who provides the most support is the one entitled to claim the child on their tax returns. In the vast majority of cases, this is the one the child lives with most of the time.
If two people claim the same child, any refund will go to the one whose return is processed first so file early. IRS will bounce the second one and sort it out later. Unless you give the father a signed IRS Form 8332 giving up the exemption, you will ultimately win. |

If you're the custodial parent, you're the one that has the legal right to claim him, every year if you want to. The only way your ex could claim him is if you sign a form 8332 specifically giving him permission to do so.
If he tries to claim the child on his taxes the same year you've tried to claim the child on yours, the IRS will ask both of you for proof of your claim. In this particular case, it sounds like a no-brainer that you'd win.
Try to get your return filed early. In general, he who files first gets the deduction, and he who files second gets his refund delayed until the IRS has had a chance to sort things out. |

You just claim him yourself and let the IRS hand him his just desserts! He cannot claim him unless there is an agreement or he can prove he supports more than 50%. |

If nothing is in writing about who claims him for tax purposes then it should be you claiming the child. The test of who gets to claim a dependent is the person who provides more than 50% of their support.
You do have to claim any child support you get and he can deduct any child support he pays. |

In claiming the child, it does not matter who paid the child support.
Who can claim the child if the parents are divorced, separated or unmarried, read: http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/03/child-of-separated-or-divorced-parents.html |

If you provide 50% or more to your son's living expenses, then you and only you are entitled to claim him. If your ex claims him, your son's soc. sec. number on both of your returns will trigger a red flag at the IRS and you will BOTH get a notice disallowing him as a dependent. If that happens, you will need to show you are entitled to him as a dependent. Medical bills, grocery bills, utility bills, school records showing your address as your son's primary address should be sufficient.
Usually the issue of who claims the child(ren) is addressed in the divorce agreement. But since you have sole custody, you are entitled. The fact that he pays child support does not give him the right to claim. As you know, child support is only a small part of a child's living expenses. |
