What is the name of your state? FL
I am going before the tax court without a leg to stand on.
I am the father of 3 minor children for which I am the secondary custodial parent. I pay over $900 in child support which the state of Florida has determined to be 72% of the sharred support.
I cannot claim them as my dependents because the IRS requires that I get permission from my ex wife. She lives in section 8, 3BR house, receives food stamps, and medicaid. Her boyfriend quit his job and now lives in the house with her, with everyone living off of my child support. On top of that, she files a 1099 claiming that she did some work and receives a tax refund and earned income credit and child tax credits.
I can't deduct the child support, but have to pay taxes on the money.
Where are my 5th amendment rights to prove that I am the one providing the support and thus should be the one who can claim my children?
