If he owes any child support, he would have had his taxes taken...even if they are only a month behind..so the others are probably right, he probably has figured out how to claim as much as he can throughout the year, so that there is nothing left to refund (or maybe he owes now, since he has not been able to claim an exemption). As far as him trying to claim one child...he will be sorry when the IRS catches up with him. My x did the same last year ( and he got caught...and now owes) Also...I file my taxes with H&R and I have them attach my court order showing that I am the custodial party...that way they have the information they need on file...just in case!

If he has no refund coming, there is nothing to capture. More than one savvy debtor sets up their withholdings so that they have a small tax bill at tax time. This completely side-steps the capture process and unfortunately is quite legal as long as they owe less than $1,000 when they file.
As long as you are the custodial parent, YOU get the exemption. The wording of your decree doesn't meet the strict requirements in Federal law for him to claim any of the children so even if he was current you'd have to authorize him to do so using Form 8332.
Should you both claim one or more of the children, the IRS will investigate the matter and award the exemption claim to one taxpayer according to the law. The other will get a bill for any taxes due. Since you are the custodial parent, you'd win that. Don't sweat it.

First of all, are you sure he's actually getting a refund? If he sets his withholding so that he owes instead of getting a refund, there would be nothing to intercept.
I'd just claim the child too that he plans to claim. The IRS will investigate,and you'll get the exemption. File early though, because if he gets in first it could delay your refund even though you'll get it eventually.

Call the child support office they will call you back,Give them a heads up on the tax thing and ask them to garnish his checks from work.That will get some action. Then you file your taxes and show prof of the child living with you all year. He will have to pay back the money. Call the IRS.

As far as claiming the children, if you have the legal right to then by all means do. If he also does, the IRS will eventually send you both letters requesting proof for claiming that exemption. He will have to explain.

Maybe he is not getting a refund.
Many people who owe back child support will lower the withholding enough so they never get a refund and they owe every year. If there is no refund, there is nothing to intercept.
Sad.....but true....
