What is the name of your state? NJ
A while back I asked about claiming my daughter as a tax deduction the year she turns 19. I was informed that it doesn't matter what my divorce decree says, the year my daughter turns 19 only the person who contributes more then 50% towards her expenses can claim her as a deduction.
I am divorced and the divorce decree says my ex and I each claim one of two children.
Oldest daughter turns 19 next year.
I believe that if a man and a woman are never married, then that person who pays 50% or more gets to claim the child as a tax deduction.
If it is true that no matter what the divorcee decree states the year the child turns 19 only the parent that contributes 50% or more can claim that
child as a deduction, where can I find that infomation in black & white.
