Can noncustodial parents claim kids for tax credit if custodial parent don't have a job?

Normally, the custody agreement would specify which parent could claim the child for tax.
While one may expect the parents without income wouldn't care about additional deductions...for purposes of the child tax credit, income isn't needed - hence they get the credit as cash, not a deduction. The parents essentially get paid for having the children---they get back more tax from the gov't than they pay!

∙ 13y agoNo, if you had physical custody for less than 50% of the year (182 days or less out of 365), you cannot claim the child as a dependent and thus you would not qualify for any child tax credits.

∙ 11y agoI'm trying and failing to conceive of a scenario in which a person might even for a second think this could possibly be legal. So, you're not the child's parent, and the child doesn't live with you, and yet, somehow, you think there's a chance you might be able to claim them on your taxes?
In an attempt to take this seriously: there's a worksheet in the tax instructions designed to help you figure out if you can claim someone as a dependent. Fill that out, and it will answer your question.

∙ 16y agoNo...only the parent claiming the dependent on their taxes can claim the child tax credit. They go hand in hand.

∙ 14y agoThis is worked out in the divorce decree; who gets to claim the child. I think you can alternate yearly --- but you both can't claim the child the same year.
