How much does a parent get back on taxes if they claim their child?
Bettyboop101
50,000 per child The above is probably someone being cute. Children normally don't have income, hence they have no tax. They are a deduction on their parents return however, and that is normally a fairly modest amount. (Something like a reduction of income by $2500, so the tax savings on that - if your in the 20% bracket - effectively $500). If the child does have income, say from interest on an account from his grandparents, or anything else, his income must be taxed as if it was the parents, under the "kiddie tax" rules. (Otherwise high bracket taxpayers would shift income to their children who would seemingly have a much lower tax bracket on that income).

Can your mother claim your son on her taxes if you owe back child support?
To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year. So the mother in this case can claim her grandson on her taxes if she supported the child for at least 183 days out of the year, regardless of whether or not the mother of the child owes back child support.

If you are late on child support can you claim the child on taxes?
yes, if you meet the requirements IRS Deduction Regardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year. The IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent. Time spent in Day Care and/or School is deducted from the total.
How would you be notified if the non custodial parent files taxes?
your not notified when the non-custodial parent files their taxes and your not entitled to notification. if you are worrying about the parent filing and claiming your child/children there is really no way other then whomever files first with the childs social security number will force the 2nd parent filings to be kicked back because the child has already been claimed. to correct that you need to provide legal court documents saying you have the right to claim the child that year and it is a long drawn out process. unfortunately the IRS has NO WAY of knowing who is legally entitled to claim which child which years

Can you claim a child on your taxes if you do not have full custody?
Maybe, but the answer has nothing to do with paying child support. Generally, when child support is ordered, the agreement also states who has residential custody of the child, and often specifies who is to take the child's exemption on income tax returns. If the order specifies who is to get the exemption and when, it is to be followed. The non-custodial parent must attach a completed Form 8332 or certain pages from the decree in order to claim the exemption. If the order is silent on who gets the exemption, only the parent with whom the child lives may use the exemption. However, if the parent with residential custody agrees to do so, s/he may give a completed Form 8332 to the non-custodial parent in order for the latter to take the exemption. Under no circumstances may the parent with whom the child does notlive use the child for the purposes of Head of Household status, the Dependent Care Credit, or the Earned Income Credit. That parent may use the child's dependency exemption to reduce taxable income and to qualify for the Child Tax Credit.
