It depends on what your divorce decree states. If it gives him the right to claim the child on his taxes, the only way you could ever legally claim the child is if you have your ex's written permission, specifically, Form 8332 Release of Claim to Exemption for Child of Divorced or Separated Parents. The advice, "the first one who files gets the deduction" is not true and eventually, the IRS will catch up with you because they do use a matching system that matches social security numbers to taxpayers' returns.

If you have a written agreement that gives your ex the deduction, than you cannot claim the exemption yourself.
However, if there is no agreement, then whoever has provided more than 1/2 of the support during the tax year is entitled to the deduction. If your ex provided more than half of the support, even though he is behind on other support payments, he is still entitled to the deduction and you may not properly claim it without his written agreement (unless you would like trouble with the IRS).

If he has a written agreement from you that he can claim the child, then he still can. If not, the custodial parent gets the exemption, no matter what the status of child support payments is.

precisely how long did you reside inclusive of your mom, and while did you progression in inclusive of your bf? If even sooner or later over a million/2 the twelve months, she would be able to declare your toddler and likely you besides mght. Your bf surely won't be able to declare the two you or your daughter. between the regulations to declare an unrelated individual is they could have lived with you for the finished twelve months. And btw, the wording interior the divorce contract approximately your ex claiming his and your daughter would not meet IRS regulations, so they won't settle for it in spite of if he substitute into modern-day on help.

Why not, you're the one supporting the child! Whoever gets the child on the taxes first, gets it!
