Only if they are married and filing a joint return.
To claim your child as a dependent they must live with you for more than half of the year, be under age 19 (or 24 if a full-time student) and not pay more than one half of their own support.
Claiming your child as a dependent on your tax return is totally separate from the Medicaid program. One has nothing to do with the other and receiving benefits under Medicaid will NOT affect your ability to claim your child as a dependent on your taxes.
Whomever you have been listening to is simply wrong.

IF there's a dispute between mothers and fathers on who gets to declare babies, the parent with whom the youngsters lived longest interior the tax year has precedence. If there's a court order putting who gets to declare the youngsters, that has precedence. once you are the custodial parent and he claims them the two (efiling), and you report with one or the two as dependents, your return would be rejected, so which you deliver it by using mail with a letter explaining that the youngsters have lived with you all year, with him only a million/2 the year, and which you haven't any longer relinquished your declare to him by using signing an 8332. The IRS is used to this and could in many cases be certain the project interior of a pair of weeks. So if he has his W-2 and archives first, he would get his refund, yet then once you report, the IRS will make him carry out a little explaining, and insist the refund returned. in case you have long gone to court over the youngster help, long gone after him for returned baby help, and the state suggested it to IRS, you're able to get it for baby help, yet that takes a pair months. So advise you consult with him and tell him to get contemporary with baby help and you will enable him take one baby---or you will combat him each and every of ways and not enable him take the two baby. AND if he isn't helping the youngster, why does he think of he's entitled, besides.

only one person can claim the child, two people can claim the child only if the filling a joint return, any type of assistance has nothing to do with your return not even medicaid. or less you owe back child support or the IRS.
