Big problem: My boyfriend wants to claim my son who is not his under the Tax Return, Should I let him?

If your boyfriend has trust issues like this, how can this relationship last? That said, is he supporting you and your son? If you aren't working, then who pays the bills? If he is in fact the head of your household, and he is the breadwinner, then why not let him have the deduction. I think the issue here is whether or not your should continue in this relationship, not whether you should let him have a tax deduction.

If you are raising the child, file your tax return.  If there is two people claiming your child, the IRS will request that both of you submit proof that it is your child.  Since the child is yours, this will be no problem for you.  If someone else is claiming your child, they will not be able to prove that they are supporting your child.

Marsh, with child support it goes strictly on his income. If he has lost some of his income since the order was first in effect he can ask for a lower amount. Yes, having a child in his home, as long as it is his, also counts for him. He will just have to talk to them and ask for a lower amount due to having a child now with you. It will not make a difference though if his income has went up.

If he received a 1098 from his school, then he should claim it. With that said, almost all financial aid is tax deductible, so he should include it in his return but it won't count against him.

as long as you provided over half of his support and he didnt make to much money than you can claim him. the not over 18 unless a full time student than it is up to 24 years of age rule  (the quy above me was talking about) is only applied to the earned income credit. a dependent can be eny age its just that the child credits go by age. i do taxes.

First you need to determine if the business can generate enough income to support him AND reimburse you.\n\nA lot of people who say they own "businesses" are simply self-employed, living paycheck to paycheck like most of the rest of us.  If that is where your business is, and if that is where your son will be when you leave, you should probably just be satisfied with the fact that you have helped your son.\n\nIf, on the other hand, the business is capable of generating excess cash without adversely affecting your son's life, you have some options.  I think the best would be for you to continue to "own" the business but draw a weekly check for a predetermined period of time.  Write out the terms so that you both understand the deal.  The amount should be large enough to make sense but small enough so that there is no doubt that he can make the payment.  That way, if things don't work out, you still "own" the business.

Sorry buddy but you will have to pay it all.  It does not matter how old you child is now. Or even if the new dad is claiming him. All a judge is going to see is that you owe. Just because they may not need the money now they needed it then and did not get it. I know it was hard. It is for most fathers and mothers who have to pay. You can try. But I don't think its gonna go through.

The child's father is obligated, I recently got back into touch with my older son and his mother has told me she has not recieved any money, thouu I have been paying through the nose, can't get any kind of license(hunting, fishing, business, et c.), I cannot get a passport and have been screwed constantly. If you have been on state assistance, he is paying that. If not, you need to report to DSHS and let them know you are not getting help. Also whoever adopts your son gets total responsibilty! Will be responsible for thee child financially for the rest of his natural life, think hard about this. Further more, quit yer bitchin'! I have never once heard of a man say he's not getting child support. You panty droppers wanted equality, fcuken take it! You created that child, you chose the man, you either take the responsibilty or give him to his father, you CANNOT have it both ways!

Yikes!  Ask some local attorneys what options you have.  Some may take payments in increments.  It could be that if you take him to court he'll have to suck up most of the cost anyway, even back child support since you have been separated.  Never hurts to make some phone calls!  Much luck to you.  I think you'll find this is easier than you think, it's just annoying as hell.

Indeed, consult and attorney and tell him/her your wishes and your complete situation.  If your son (your desired beneficiary) is under 18 and you die, the court will not allow him to take custody of such a large amount of money.  They would appoint someone to oversee these funds (most likely your husband (son's father) but maybe not).\n\nIf you take action now while you are alive, then YOU make the decisions NOT a court.  You will be able to change these decisions later such as when your son turns 18 or finishes college.

Please verify with your state, but here in California, he owes it until it is paid. Your Mom is the payee, so you as the child can't get it, but she doesn't need to pay for an attorney. Have her get in touch with the Family Services department of your local court house and they should have free instructions on how to file a claim, maybe even offer a free class to walk her through it. Based on his income it may be a stupid small amount, just a few bucks a month, or they may seize his assets and she'll get a big chunk all at once. The good thing is they can seize his income tax returns and charge him interest. It's definately worth looking into. Good for your Mom for being such a trooper and taking care of you by herself!

Yep!  My sister had it done to her ex.  He never paid for their now 13 year old son.  They took back support, current support out of his disability checks, and also gave her his entire income tax refund for the year.

The Only way you could do that is if you and your children were physically living with whoever you were going to let claim them on thier taxes for at least 7 months out of 12 for that tax year, plus they have to be able to claim head of household because if you were working and lived with that person for the alotted time but you made more money than them, they can't do it.

No you shouldn't...You should only sue if there is a monetary loss in my opinion.  Too many people are quick to sue because they see it as easy money.  I'm glad to know that your son wasn't hurt!

Why did they claim you?  By' 'claim' I assume you mean as a dependent.  This would have lowered their tax liability and increased their refund. So why did they claim you?\n\nAnyway, it's their return and if they don't want to share that information with you then you are out of luck.  the refund is theirs so if they don't want you to know then about the only thing you can do is to throw a temper tantrum.\n\nI throw temper tantrums all the time and I usually take it out on inanimate objects, like plastic CD cases.  I always feel much better after I clean up all the broken plastic.

lol, I'm with Teri. I would say contact a tax professional in the state that he will be filing and they should have those answers, as state tax laws vary state to state. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. :)

Most underwriters will want to see that your son is the one paying this policy.  It is typically a big red flag for a parent to be listed as payor on an adult child policy.
