No the one that can prove 51 percent or more support can only claim.

there is not any longer some thing any courtroom can say or attempt this may forestall him from attempting to declare the newborn. The IRS has no way of understanding in improve the position the newborn spent the most nights. In case of reproduction claims, the make certain that ought to educate their case wins, so that you need to keep precise archives. purchase a cheap calendar a the dollar keep and mark off each and each and every evening at your position of living and each and each and every evening in his. Assuming he has no similar archives that conflict with yours (or are incomplete) then the IRS will often settle for that at face cost and award the exemption to you. Given the problem that you state, that is completely plausible that some 3 hundred and sixty 5 days he would have the newborn more beneficial nights than you. as an get mutually, in case you've been to be hospitalized for some weeks and the newborn stayed with him, he'd in all probability win.

Are you talking taxes? That depends on the separation agreement and child support terms. In some cases the parent who has the child 50% of the time or more gets to claim the child, in other cases the parent who pays the child support as well as health/dental insurance, day care fees, sports/hobby fees, college expenses claims the child.

The one who files taxes first will have no problem. You can only claim a child on one tax return...it could go through but you would owe the IRS as soon as they caught it and probably with interest. You are suppose to alternate the years between the parents. Some divorce papers will specify the years set out for each party.

No, the parent that is paying child support is the one that normally claims the child on his/her taxes. When you file for the divorce it needs in writing the parent that claims the child at the end of the year.

support has nothing to do with it if the courts have not said other wise the parent the child lives with for more than six months out of the year has the right to claim the child if the other parent claims the child with out written permission from court or other parent they are in big trouble

In order for anyone to claim a dependent or child, that dependent or child has to have lived equally between the separated parents, six months each, total time for that year.

If you are asking this as a tax deduction question, the answer is no. Only one of you can claim the child on taxes. This goes for divorced parents as well, as it is usually spelled out in the divorce papers, just who gets to claim them for tax purposes.

On your tax return I'm assuming your question is about. The answer is no, only one of you can claim the child as a dependent.

Yes, it's called joint custody...both parents have legal and physical custody, so the child lives with one parent part of the time, and then the other part of the time. Is that what you meant?

If you mean taxes, I think both parents can.

Call a tax preparer or the IRS. IRS has a hot line listed in your tax booklet, they are there to answer specific questions. I do think you each can claim half of the credit. But, call to know for sure!

Only one person can claim child and its the one that has custody or the one that can prove the most support.

which ever parent has custody, OR the custodial parent can sign giving the non custodial parent permission to claim the child

NO only the woman the law is biased towards women irrespective of the fact that she could be the biggest whore round the corner.

Its always the woman who wins because she just heted the oven never had the capability of putting the dough in it.

nope. and if both parents do the IRS will audit both of them.



if its not in divorce papers or a court order, it comes down to who pays more then 50% of the childs expenses (child support does not, btw) and the parent with the living expense reciepts wins.
