He pays 50 a month to welfare because I am on assistance temporarily. He's only paid for two months. I have full custody, but my husband goes to school full time, no job, and I am not in school because I am in my 3rd trimester. Can he claim her and receive the large child credit? Does he need my permission to claim her? Does anyone know where I can get these questions answered?

You could sign IRS form 8332 and give him permission to claim her as long as he's her biological father, but if he doesn't have any tax liability, claiming her wouldn't do anything for him. The child tax credit only subtracts from the taxes the person owes, they don't get any extra back. So if he doesn't have a job, and doesn't owe tax, there's no credit either. If you don't have any earned income, then claiming her wouldn't do anything for you either.

in simple terms the custodial discern can declare the youngster. The custodial discern is the discern with whom the youngster lived for the longer volume of time based on the nights spent. the different discern is the non-custodial discern. Non-custodial discern can declare the youngster provided that the custodial discern indicators a launch type 8332. With type 8332, the noncustodial discern gets exemption deduction and infant tax credit, yet no longer the top of kin status and EITC. Even after signing type 8332, the custodial discern is head of kin and get EIC and any infant care credit.

Have you lived with the child during 2007 more than he has? If so, he cannot claim the child on his taxes unless you sign Form 8332 giving him the exemption and Child Tax Credit. So yes, he needs your permission to take the exemption and Child Tax Credit.
Neither the exemption nor the Child Tax Credit will do him any good if he owes no taxes.
If you have any income from wages, file your return, claim your child(ren), and get the Earned Income Credit.
The amount of support he provides has nothing to do with the exemption. Your receipt of welfare does not disqualify you from claiming your child(ren) on your tax return.

First check your custody papers and see if it specifies who should take the exemption. I have sole custody, and my ex claims one kid and I claim the other. If it doesn't specify, this would be a good item to go back to court over. If you don't get that done before tax season, be sure to file your tax return ASAP and take the credit before he files his return. I think the IRS will give it to the first person who files even if he files later and tries to claim it, if there is no court agreement.

IF you sign the IRS form allowing him to take the exemption then he can providing he meets certain criteria. LIVING with him is not one of the things necessary as the poster who hasn't a clue stated. As well as the garbledy **** about some state stuff(????) this is a federal matter with the IRS not a state matter until the state tax return gets involved/
However, that is not going to do him any good if he has no income, if indeed you are talking about the EIC.

If he has no job he can't claim the Earned Income Tax Credit.

If he does not have custody and is not paying child support he should not be able to claim her, however in some states you have to go to court for "legal child support laws to be set"
check your states laws in most if the child does not live with the parent they can not claim them.

www.irs.gov is where to go to get the answer, but I think he has to contribute to 50 percent of the childs care and the child has to reside at least 50 percent of the time with him and then you can both claim the child. But please read the guidlines at the web site to be sure

IRS.gov..............####### The child tax credit is only good up to the amount of Tax he pays, even if he is qualified, which I don't think he will be..............########
