If you have claimed a child tax credit improperly, then file an amended return (Form 1040X) and recompute your taxes are return the overpayment.
If you believe that someone else has improperly claimed your child on their tax return, there is nothing you can do about their tax return. If you believe that you have the right to claim the credit, then by all means go ahead and claim the credit on your own tax return and don't worry about what anyone else has done. If someone else has already claimed your child, then if you efile (electronically file) your return, it may be rejected. If this happens, print out your return on paper and mail it in. A paper return will not be rejected for this reason. The IRS will then be in contact with both taxpayers to determine who is right. The first step is to submit your own claim. If you don't, then you have no standing in the matter.

The credit reduces your taxable income by up to $1,000 per qualifying child, so your income must be at least as much as the amount of the credit you claim.

Can daycare be used as a tax deduction?
No, taking care of yourself and family are personal expenses paid with after tax money. I agree, but you could be eligible for a child tax credit: A taxpayer who has a dependent child under age 17 probably qualifies for the child tax credit. This credit, which can be as much as $1,000 per eligible child, is in addition to the regular $3,500 exemption claimed for each dependent. A change in the way the credit is figured means that more low- and moderate-income families will qualify for the full credit on their 2008 returns. The child tax credit is not the same as the child care credit. Details on figuring and claiming the child tax credit can be found in IRS Publication 972 (PDF format).

How much does your gross income have to be to get the child's tax credit and does unemployment count as gross income?
The Child Tax Credit is $1,000 for each of your dependent children that you are claiming that are 16 or younger. It doesn't have anything to do with gross income. This credit is nonrefundable, so it can only reduce your tax to zero. If your tax is less than this credit (see worksheet in IRS instructions), you will only claim enough of the credit to reduce your tax to zero & you may qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit. The Additional Child Tax Credit is refundable (you can get money back if it's more than your taxes). It can be affected by your income. If the Child Tax Credit worksheet directs you to this credit, use IRS Form 8812 & instructions to see how much to claim. The total claimed on the line for Child Tax Credit & Additional Child Tax Credit cannot be more than $1,000 for each dependent child age 16 or younger. Yes, unemployment is part of gross income. However, it is not earned income.
