Can a parent paying child support file child on taxes?
Paying Child Support has nothing to do with any right to claim the child on their return. A divorce agreement or custody agreement usually deals with rights to claim a child on a tax return. If there is no such agreement deciding who get to claim the child then the IRS rules do. Usually the first right is the custodial parent (the person the child lives with). Residency is one of the requirements to claim a dependent.

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. Consult with a CPA or tax specialist to make sure; you can refile your taxes if there is some way that the payments are deductible--but only if a CPA says you can.

To claim your child as a dependent on your taxes, you need to fill out the IRS Form 1040 or 1040A. You will need to provide your child's Social Security number, relationship to you, and information about their residency and financial support. Make sure to follow the instructions on the form carefully and provide accurate information to claim your child as a dependent successfully.
