Hello everyone,
I have a question that I need help with fast. My boyfriend has emergency temporary custody of his three year old son. He recieved this custody on July 15, 2005. For 11 out of 12 months of 2005 his son was living with him while he was paying child support. Even when he recieved custody he still had to pay child support. Now the babies mother has claimed him on her taxes even though she has not been supporting him at all. My boyfriend tried to file his taxes and they said that he couldnt claim the baby because she claimed him. Now my mom and dad were in the same situation with my older brother and my dad got to claim my brother because he was paying child support. Something seems fishy about this. I'm not sure what she did was tax fraud but my boyfriend should be the one to claim because he the primary care giver. I just need some advice. Thank you..
