If you have it in your court stipulation First, non custodial parents are not eliminated from claiming the exemption for children. However, only the one that meets the qualifications of the tests for claiming a dependent as either a qualifying child OR a quailfying relative may take them, legally. Fairly easy problem for the computers to spot especially if 2 returns claim the same person as an exemption. Common sense should tell you that something as easy as saying 2 instead of 1, on an issue many are so cognizant of and not novel in any way, has a fair number of safeguards built in. First, both returns have the deduction denied (it may obviously occur after refund has been received), and explanations need to be found. Someone will end up with a penalty and interest, although as the benefit received is farily samll (generally about $750 really), these aren't going to amount to too much if paid promptly. One if not both will end up with their returns reviewed, and likely be up for further forward and backward scrutiny of all their tax positions for some while. Obviously there are actual criminal penalties possible, but unless more turns up or the problem is repetitive, that is unllikely for a "mistake".

Do children need to pay income tax for income earned?
Yes. There is no exception to taxes on account of age. The child must file their own tax return (obviously if the child is too young, the parents can fill it out for them). The child's income cannot be combined on the parents' return (unless the child is subject to the kiddie tax and the child's ONLY source of income is interest and dividends).
If your child has a job can you claim them on your income tax?
Yes as long as you and your child meet all of the rules for you to be able to claim your child as a qualified child dependent on your 1040 income tax return. You child will file the child's own 1040 income tax return and will have to make sure and check the box that says they can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayers income tax return and the child will get the 3650 exemption on the child's own income tax return. The number of exemptions will be -0- zero WHEN the 1040 income tax return is completely correctly.
