 Do I have to claim a dependant deduction?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Ohio I am a divorced, non-custodial parent. This year is my year to use the dependant deduction for our child. We alternate every other year on who uses the deduction. Whether I use claim the dependant deduction or not this year, the tax amount to be refunded to me does not change. This is due to net operating losses in a business and other issues for the year. My question is: Can my ex. use the dependant deduction as long as I do not use it? If my ex. uses the deduction, it will increase the refund they get substantially. Thanks... |

GeeI an not a tax attorney... But I would think that would be fine. The only time you are defrauding the government is when you both claim. Awfully nice of you too.  I would like to know the answer to this too, because my ex and I have a system too, and I hope we weren't doing anything wrong.

| Yes, the custodial parent is always entitled to claim the child, unless the CP gives the exemption to the NCP, or is ordered to do so by a court. Snipes
