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.
no
Child support cannot be claimed on taxes. A payer of child support may be able to claim the child as a dependent, but the payments are not tax deductible or count as taxable income.
no
No, child support is not tax deductible by the payer.
You probably can't claim a child you're paying child support for period. The IRS rules generally work out that the custodial parent gets to claim the child.
You can only claim a child on your taxes if you provide at least 50% of the FINANCIAL support (through mortgage, food, clothing, education, etc.) for the child. If you provided at least 50% of the support for the child, then you can claim the child for the tax year in which you provided the support.
only 1 parent can claim the child. whom ever the child lives with
Being late or early or on time does is not determining on who gets to claim the child as a deduction
The custodial parent does not have to claim child support monies as income and the non custodial parent cannot claim it as a deduction.
More than likely no.
Do you have the child 51% of the time? see my profile no
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.
