Texas
If there are divorced parents and the lady claims a child under 19 as a dependent and collects an Earned Income Credit for the tax year 2003 but in 2004 she lets the man claim the child as a dependent and now the child is 19 (turned 19 during tax year 2004). The man paid the lady(exwife) $100 for allowing him to claim the child as a dependent. Is this statute for fraud and does the Lady have to payback the EIC with penalties and interest or is this perfectly legal?
