hottmama | Tax refund and child support??? |
I have a 1yr son and his dad and I dont live together, we go halfers on mostly everything regarding my sons expenses (child care, diapers) however my son lives with me and if we calculate the expenses i did covered 70% of them.
I claimed my son on my taxes, i got credit for him, now my babys dad says that we need to go halfers on that as well.
Should I?
He doesnt pay child support.
Thanks for helping!!!

Is there anyway he can get some sort of credit for the child expenses? |

NO. As long as u supplied over half of his needs and lived with you for the better part of the year (which I am assuming) He cannot. I went thru all that stuff with my ex and he made a big stink out of it. We ended up splitting every other year but he paid support. Since he don't pay support he can't claim him at all and the only way he could is if he went into court and met the guidelines of what he paid in support. |

Well, first of all, there's nothing in the tax code to even allow you to go "halfers" on claiming a dependent. One person, and only one, can claim him. And since he lives with you, you would be entitled to claim him even if you didn't pay more than half of his expenses.
If you want to be really nice to your baby's dad, you could give him some of the money you got by claiming your son, but you are by no means obliged to - that would be purely a gift. |

I have worked in the field of child support for about 20 years. Unless the IRS has made a recent change, you can't "go halfers" on a deduction for a child.
You say that he doesn't pay child support. Is he court ordered to pay? Has he been declared the "legal" father of your child? (what constitutes a legal father differs from state to state) If the answer to either of these is no, he has the same legal rights to your child as I do...(none).
At any rate, it doesn't appear that there is any "relief" for him on his taxes where your child is concerned. |

There is no such thing as a half a dependent to the IRS. Tell him it is illegal and for proof look right here. |

NO! He doesn't get half of your EIC. He isn't pay you any child support, he probably doesn't get up with the baby in the middle of the night, or give it a bath, or read it a bedtime story or any of the other day to day things that you do for your baby. Tell him of he wants some money, get another job. |

~Since your son lives with you, you automatically pay more than the father. Rent, electricity, cable, phone, etc.
He needs to quit sniveling over a few bucks, be sure you are the one who claims him too! He needs to be grateful he doesn't pay Child Support, he'd be paying more than he is now.
Don't let him make you feel guilty. I think it's great that you two can still get along for the baby's sake.~
*Poohat, it's obvious that you are bitter. Pay your Child Support, don't be a dead beat dad. |

you can't claim half a dependant what you can do is you claim him one year and the other claim him the next. Normally the parent the child was living with would claim it unless the other parent for some reason is considered doing 100% of the childs support. I'm not sure how you covering 70% of the childs expenses works out to be half, and I happen to think you babies daddy is trying to take as much advantage as he can you shouldn't let him. |

I'll first assume that you're in the U.S. Is there any court document stating who is supposed to pay what for your son? In absence of a legal document, the IRS generally will give the custodial parent the dependency exemption. You can't "go halfers" on the dependency exemption - it's an "all or nothing" proposition with the IRS.
If you're trying to be a generous sort of gal, what you could do is take Head of Household on your return without taking your son as a dependent, and your child's father could then take the dependent on his tax return. Of course, you're entitled to Head of Household in any case, but you're certainly going to increase your tax liability if you take your son off of your return.
Unless the dad wants to set up some sort of formal legal agreement for child support and rights to claim his son as a dependent, he's pretty much out of luck taking the child as a dependent as far as the law is concerned. |

No way..you may go half on everything but if you paid 70% of expenses I would say keep it...you don't have to split it unless you choose to do that...that is your choice...I wouldn't though |

In most states, he would not be entitled to it if he doesn't pay child support. If he pays support he would be entitled every other year. |
