WITAXLADY Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 so two "families" he is supporting her children ALL year and lived with all year pub 17 says can claim as other - no dependent credit but now the real dad didn't get the $1,000 credit either course he didn't support them so he shouldn't as far as I am concerned - no divorce decree, never married, no court order - first situation - not filed yet - but only "other" is correct... second one - the mom says 1- her boyfriend should have received the $1,000 AND the other credit - just claimed as dependent and since I didn't give the $1,000 credit and it went to waste I should not have filed like she told me too and 2 - $1,000 should have gone back to the real dad - who in this situation the divorce papers says it is her year to claim the kids, not his I hate taxes, and kids...

WITAXLADY Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Posted March 27, 2017 and then qualify for EIC in one of the instances as well - and not related - am I too letter of the law? Quote
Pacun Posted March 27, 2017 Report Posted March 27, 2017 You have to be blood related or adopted for the credit. "other" is the only one that qualifies and Child Tax Credit and EIC are lost. 2 Quote
WITAXLADY Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Posted March 29, 2017 thank you I think I get too picky sometimes.. but then I look back at 2012 and let them claim boyfriend on a family where he went to college and had "no" parents... would not do that anymore - tell them law change - and it did - just not sure when exactly and what - but today I know better 1 Quote
