You have the right to claim them if they live with you and you provide the support. Because you can only claim two for the earned income credit, it doesn't really matter. Look at it this way, if he can claim 2 and you claim 2, if he ever decides not to pay his child support, then it will come back to you through his tax return. A win win situation. Do you want to be able to claim all of them out of spite? Just a thought...

Consult a professional tax accountant. due to the way the divorce decree for someone I know, my friend can claim his kids as dependents, but his ex gets the extra child tax credit. In this case you would be best served by seeking outside help.
Good Luck

You can only claim 2 on earned income credit. Technically, you are right. You can claim all four as dependents, but if he/she claims them too, then they may audit the both of you to see who actually provides more than 50 percent of the expenses for their care. If he/she is paying child support in an amount that is more than the deduction, why do you have a problem with him/her claiming them?

No, if the divorce papers say he claims two and you claim two then that's how it goes. Is he paying his child support? If not you could try to go to the court and have it changed that you claim all four since he is not contributing. You can call the IRS and check with them.

H&R Block place of work informed him this replaced into ok - not! (sounds like we've the comparable ex!) you will might desire to report your return and MAIL it, you won't be able to efile. The IRS will touch the two certainly one of you and tackle who gets what. I suggested as the IRS on the instant as quickly as I found out what the ex did. you may desire to do the comparable through fact the IRS takes this occasion VERY heavily, through fact the EIC can advise enormous refunds. I additionally faxed the IRS a sort i think of it replaced into an 3949-A fraud sort. long tale short, it did not help me on the instant yet I did finally get carry of each penny of the $5800 refund i replaced into entitled to...it did take 2 years, tho.

As long as he pays child support for his children according to the court order, he can claim. It only matters that the total claim by him and you as tax deductions is equal to the total number of children, not double claim by either side. Living with you doesn't mean you can claim all of them. He can claim because he is supporting them.

No this isn't true, if you are in custody legally of your children, you earned the EIC. Your ex gets to claim his child support.
