The courts usually have you take turns claiming the kids. Dad gets even or odd years and vise versa. If you don't have a court order then whoever the children live with is entitled to the EIC and the other who is claiming them for their year will get the child tax credit.

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.
