So, let me get this straight. You don't work. You produced children and decided to not live with the father. He pays for you. And you want the government (a.k.a. taxpayers) to pay you even more? Can you be any more of a drag on society???

The person who pays the child support does not take a deduction for it and the person who receives it does not take it into income.
It can be used to show that someone provides the support for a child an therefore qualifies them to take the child as a dependent on their tax return.

Of course not. Check with a CPA or get a booklet from the IRS. The IRS has a help line , an 800 nunmber you can call.

No.
It is not taxed and it can not be used for EIC.
