1 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I claim my son on my taxes his mother couldnt, even if in our court order it says she gets to claim him?
- A: Hello,
According to the custody agreement, your son's mother has the right to claim the child on her tax return. This agreement doesn't change even if she doesn't qualify for the child tax credit. So, you can't claim the child on your return without her agreement.
Here's a possible solution: If she agrees to fill out IRS Form 8332 for the tax year, you could then claim the child on your return and potentially get the credit.
Wishing you the best of luck!
