I don't think he can.
You can but unless your married. I am assuming that their father doesn't claim them? Cause you both can't do that.
If he was there legal guardian or if he adopted them then he could.
Talk to your tax person.

If they live with him, he provides more than 50% of the support, cant be claimed on someone elses return, are us citizens and dont have much income he can claim them, Why dont you get the instructions for a 1040 from the post office. and read the paragraph on dependents, There is a yes no flow chart that will tell you. It isnt rocket science. You just have to read a little.

in the previous you sign the type 8332 (and in case you do sign, do it one twelve months at a time), run your tax return numbers the two procedures. that's, You "record" and declare each little thing, decide the refund. You "record" and declare HOH (if eligible) and EIC, yet not the exemption or $one thousand new child tax credit. Then learn the two numbers. If it is tiny, ask him to run the numbers besides (exemption and new child tax credit basically) and if it is a huge difference, shop the peace and sign. Congress allowed for this chop up (even though it is not required) decrease than the theory that the custodial discern does not have plenty income and giving dad the exemption and CTC could make it extra elementary for them to pay new child help. some courts write it into the custody decree. that would not carry weight with the IRS (the non-custodial discern nevertheless needs the 8332), yet could reason you to be in contempt in case you do not sign.

He cannot claim them alone unless you are married. Did you earn income from employment this year? The you can claim them as dependants. Your only other recourse is to marry before January 1.

I would call the IRS and ask them. I would think that since he supports them and no one else claim them that he should be able to but you never know. My husband claims my oldest on his taxes and we usually file separately.

In order for him to claim your children on his taxes is for their father to sign off all parental rights, you and your fiance get married and he adopts your children. Until they are his children by law he will not be able to legally claim them.

They have to be dependent of his. If you were married and they primarily lived with you it would be easier. I can't think of a way for him to claim them. Call the IRS using the number on their site. I have spoken to them several times with questions regarding a non-profit organization I work with. They have been very nice, knowledgable and helpful.

He can only claim what is his. Get married and you claim them on your taxes. Have him adopt the kids.

He will have to marry you. Are you able to use them for tax deductions? Are you getting child support? If you can deduct them, after you are married, there is no problem. If you are receiving child support, then you have to prove who is paying the most.

If your children are living w/ you six months or more and he is the provider he can claim your children. Whoever told him different is an ***. It states clearly on the return form.
