how will affect the child support with a w-2 with loss?

Question

my brother has a case in child support he gave his tax return with employer, but he also works in the side. the other partie ask for him to sign a form 4509 to get copies of all his return
in the one he filed with the outside jobs shows more loss the earnings, that is why he did not give it in the first place, this is his first time , what will happend when they see the real w-2 with losses and the side jobs. will this affect the support oder? in other his ex spouse is married and she is filing head of house hold single. my brother is always filing in the correct way.

Answer 1

a w-2 can't show losses, it can only show wages paid to him. If by work on the side, you mean he files a schedule C as a proprietorship, if he's losing money there, don't even claim it.

as to his ex - i she filing her 1040 as a head of household? or is she doing her w-4 as a head of household? If she's filing her actual 1040 tax return as a head of heousehold, she's throwing away money. Married Joint is the cheapest tax bracket. If it's her w-4 that she's claiming Single-head of household, that's fine. That just determines how much taxes to withhold and support is based on gross pay, not net. and has nothing to do with tax return filing status. If anything, she's just making sure she gets enough taxes withheld, and is probably expecting a refund

Answer 2

Child Support orders cannot be changed without going to court. Most states do not care where you get the money as long as the support is paid. Having paperwork that shows he worked and lost money will not impress a judge. It may even work against him.

Answer 3

depending on what state and county he lives in his support can go up with arrears from the time of the original filing his ex being married or how she files has nothing to do with support
