My spouse owes back child support. If we file married jointly and I fill out the form for injured spouse, can they take my children's tax credit. We have 3 children, 2 are solely mine, and 1 is from our marriage together. If we file jointly, are they able to garnish the child tax credit for my children? Please help. I know that I can file for injured spouse but, I have been told that they will still take the tax credit for my children. But if I file separately then I will only get half of the child tax credit. Please help.
