The child's social security survivors benefits belong to the child and if the child would be required to file a income tax return it could be possible that some of the child's social security benefits could become taxable on the child's income tax return. If you are receiving social security benefits its is also possible that some of your SSB could become taxable income on your 1040 income tax return.
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.
Can you claim your child if they file taxes too?
Yes as long as all of the rules are met by and the child to be your qualifying child dependent on your income tax return. Dependent not allowed a personal exemption. If you can claim an exemption for your dependent, the dependent cannot claim his or her own personal exemption on his or her own tax return. This is true even if you do not claim the dependent's exemption on your return or if the exemption will be reduced under the phaseout rule described under Phaseout of Exemptions, later. Make sure that the dependent indicates on the 1040 income tax return that him/her is using indicates this and cannot claim the 3650 exemption amount on the income tax return that is being filed.

As long as the child is genuinely the dependent of a new person, that person can claim them as a dependent for that year.
If a dependent filed their taxes and checked the box that they can't be claimed as a dependent but they can how can this be remedied?
The child would have to have their tax return amended and repay any money that they should not have got. If the parents also filed incorrectly, theirs would have to be amended as well.
Are child support payments tax deductible?
You and the child's mother have to agree who is taking the child deduction (usually the parent with custody), so the child support is probably not deductible.

You would file a joint return with your wife--she is not a dependent. Child support arrears would likely be subtracted from your joint tax return.

You may request your portion of the refund by filing Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation.You should obtain information from a licensed tax preparer.
