Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hi Leonel,
You have asked several questions. I will try to respond to them as best I can.
Child support does not automatically make you the individual that can claim the child as a dependent. Does you divorce agreement stipulate you as the one claiming the child. If the agreement is silent or if there is no agreement, the parent providing more than 50% the support is the parent entitled to take the dependent.
The newborn is would depend on you providing the support of the child.
Your dad the rules are somewhat different. In addition to providing more that half support of your dad, he has an income limit of $4,400.

I will attach an article on that.
