Child support received or paid is NOT reported on your income tax return.
If there is a tax return.
No because you dont pay tax on child support
Child support payments made by a taxpayer are not deductible on the federal tax return. Unlike alimony, which has specific tax treatment, child support is considered a personal expense and does not qualify for a tax deduction. Additionally, the recipient of child support does not have to report it as taxable income. Therefore, both parties do not receive any tax benefits from child support payments.
Yes.
That's done by the Child Support Enforcement Department. You can not have a copy of his tax returns, however, the IRS works with all states and allows "tax return interception", meaning that if there is a refund, it will be withheld and sent to you as a child support payment.
Filing a joint tax return should not increase or decrease a child support obligation.
Child support you pay is not usually tax deductible; you would need the situation to fulfill all requirements of the child being a dependent--living with you, paying for more than half of the child's costs and so on.
NO
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.
