My husband cannot claim his son as a dependent on his taxes because the child does not live with us primarily. Is this correct?
This is what we had been told by a lawyer several years ago, especially since my husband was paying his share of daycare costs to his son's mother, on the basis that she would share her child care tax refund with him in the same proportion that he paid towards the expense.
However, my husband has begun paying daycare feels directly to the daycare, and will be getting a tax receipt for 2010. Will he then be able to claim the child as a dependent?
When can a "non-custodial" parent claim their child a dependent?
