While few of us look forward to filing our taxes, newly divorced parents probably dread it more than most. Filing individual tax returns post-divorce raises the thorny question of which parent may claim a child as a qualifying dependent. Most of the time, a divorce decree or parenting plan will list specifically who can claim the kids, but if not you’ll need to dig deeper. Here are some steps for how to determine who claims the kids.
As you can see, determining which parent may claim a dependent can be complex. This is information only and not to be construed as tax or legal advice. Consult your accountant or tax professional for detailed advice on filing, claiming dependents, and other related tax issues.
