Presuming you mean for taxes...as for lenders and such the answer may be different.

No. Child support payments are neither deductible by the payor nor taxable to the payee. When you total your gross income to see if you are required to file a tax return, do not include child support payments received.

The parent receiving the child support does not claim it as income on their tax return. Neither can the obligated parent deduct the sum as a debt.

The person who pays more then 50%for the minor child's financial welfare may be able to claim the child/children as a dependent on their IRS return. There are specific terms that must be applicable before that can be accomplished.
