If the parent or guardian provides more then half the support of a minor child the child can be claimed as a dependent on the head of household IRS filing. Please note, The SSI benefits cannot be used as a portion of the "half" amount.
Two people can not claim the same child. It's as simple as that. If the judge ordered that he get to claim the child for that certain year. Then he gets to claim him for whatever deductions apply to him.
My child has to pay for lunch can I claim that on my taxes?
In most states yes. However, the child will not claim it, rather the custodial parent.
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.
If he was responsible for over 50% of the cost of the child, he can claim the child as a dependent. That would mean that no one else was entitled to claim the child, including the father and mother.
