What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ny
I made the dead line for filing my taxes as self employed. My old accountant passed on and I hired a new accountant. The accountant gave me this year credit for paying child support which I never received last year.
The new accountant is also stating I should take the mother to court and ask for a 8332 form to claim the child every other year. I have never been married to the mother, she has sole custody. I do cover 50% of the child's costs.
It was my understanding you cannot force a mother to sign a 8332 form, its consent. Can a judge order this? I never bothered to ask since I thought that only the custodial parent is allowed this.
Thanks in advance.
