How can a non custodian parent file taxes on the childrenand you have them and dont get to claim them on your taxes?

Can you claim as a dependent a disabled non-relative housemate if you paid more that 60 percent of her living expenses?

A person can claim head of household only if the dependent is related, almost any relationanything but a cousin. You can not claim head of household if they are not related. Yes, you would have to file head of household. This is perfectly legitimate and quite common. The person you are claiming as your dependent COULD NOT claim his/herself on their own separate tax return. Speaking from my experience as a tax examiner, I would try to not complicate matters by providing too much information, aside from that required on the "dependents claimed" lines. Additionally, I wouldn't include any superfluous handwritten or typed correspondence outside of the typical standard forms regarding the nature of the dependant, aside from non-relative. I wouldn't necessarily qualify your support of this individual as a percentage, if you said you paid the "majority" of an individual's expenses it would be less open to confusion and scrutiny. 60% is a majority, after all. One down-side is if the individual you plan claim is receiving social security benefits, the benefits might be subject to a living adjustment since you are easing the individual's burden. Once again, it would pay to be vague. I doubt seriously anything would be affected retroactively, it depends largely on the information the dependant included on his/her social disability claim, that is if he/she even submitted one. Trying to simplify - to claim as a dependent, regardless of how you file - the dependent must be a "qualifying" (strictly defined) child or relative (2 different catagories), that isn't claimed by anyone else, including themselves on their own return. It would seem you have no chance.

Child Support ordered child tax credit to the non custodial father who has never written called or seen her in 8 years. Can he claim her on his taxes?

Generally, the custodial parent has the statutory right to claim the child as a dependent unless there is a court order specifying the non-custodial parent can claim the child. You should check with an attorney in your jurisdiction or an advocate at the family court. You should also review your child support order.Generally, the custodial parent has the statutory right to claim the child as a dependent unless there is a court order specifying the non-custodial parent can claim the child.

If not, the custodial parent has a higher right to claim the child than the non-custodial parent. him paying child support does not grant him any rights to claim your son either.

Who can claim a qualifying child for the EIC after divorce is not specified in divorce agreement?

The child that the child actually lives with for most of the year can claim the EIC on the child. If the divorce agreement specifies that a non-custodial parent can claim the child on his or her taxes, it does not mean that he or she can claim the EIC on the child. EIC is not granted in court orders. To claim EIC, you must pass the age, relationship, and residency requirements. If the child does not actually live with the non-custodial parent for most of the year than the non-custodial parent may NOT claim the child.
