Should you be able to claim a child on your taxes when you are paying child support?

Not unless you & the other parent agree to it and the child does not have to live with you but, the other parent has to fill out a form which is IRS form 8332 Release of claim to exemption for children of divorced or separated parents. I know from experience because I pay child support and my daughter does not live with me and I claim her every year but, I have the form 8332 which my ex-wife filled out.

It is possible if you can get your exspouse to sign the document IRS requires to claim the child as dependent. Bear in mind that just because you pay child support doesn't mean you automatically get to use the deduction of that child. Alot has to do with percentage of custody..most single mothers are in a lower income bracket and need to claim the tax deduction as well as head of household, etc. in order to avoid owing.

It depends on what is in your divorce decree if you were married. My ex had my son the younger child while I had the older one. Mind you though that I gave in on the concession so I could finally get the divorce done. He drug it out for 16 months.

My ex pays child support for our 11 year old son. My ex and I each have 50% custody - our son lives with his dad 50% of the time and me 50% of the time. My ex and I take turns claiming him on our taxes - one year my ex claims him, and the next year I claim him.

If you are divorced the divorce decree will state who gets to claim them. If you were never married then the custodial parent gets to claim the child, however you may be able to get her to sign a form that states you can claim her. Go to your tax preparer and ask if they can print one out for you. She can either sign to let you claim if for one year or she will sign for you to claim until the child turns 18.

Sorry guy. I am in the same boat as you are. I pay $1000 a month and cannot claim my boys.

Should you? NO. The rest of us married folks don't get to deduct it either.

Can you? NO. It's the law.

Alimony is deductible; child support is not.

Claim a dependent? Only the custodial parent (more than half the time) can. Split 50/50? The COURT document usually decides.

no, not unless the child lives with you.

the only way i know you can do it, is have it in your divorce agreement, i know it doesn't seem fair to the child support payer, to not have a chance to write off this child(children), but i guess a woman wrote the law, esp. when they remarry some rich dude and don't need any help, but they will send you to jail , i f you miss one payment or they call you and want you pay them early so they can get their hair done or something

But you can claim the child support payments.


helplessromatic2000
I believe you can in certain states. Please contact your local tax center. You could stop by HR Block to "consider" a tax eval and let the question slip. Also, if you know any attorneys you can ask them. Finally, you can contact the IRS and ask them yourself. Just go to IRS.gov and they should be able to let you know whats up.
