If you let someone claim your children on a tax return,who gets the stimulis check for the child tax part?

Legally, you cannot just LET anyone take your child as a dependent Grandmother is supporting Sis and grandchild by providing home, but to claim them she must be providing more than half their support--counting welfare, etc. Father can legally claim child ONLY if mother signs an 8332, and then only for exemption, NOT for EITC Can report the father to IRS for fraud, give his SS #, child's SS #, that child resided at 123 home lane with mother and grandmother; that no 8332 was provided, that father provided no support to child, that child lived with father for only 1 month of 2011 http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0...

What people are telling you is not totally true, if parent is on state assistance and there parents (grandma) income is above the standard of state aid such as rules for food stamps or other aids then they would have sighed a avadavat claiming separate incomes and show that they were paying or helping paying bills, that avadavat is a sworn document disclaiming a shared income and that there is no finical help given so that the dhs office could see that the parents ie grandmas income would not be counted as a source of income. The earned income rule does then show proof that the incomes are in fact not separate, Tax documents would then provide proof of welfare fraud. It is legal for grandparents to claim child on tax, but it is illegal to lie about the support the grandparent is providing to dhs welfare.

Also please note that if the father is custodian parent then no such tax document is needed as that tax filing is for non custodian parent. Hope this helps you, good luck!.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
