Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is going to cancel out.   You will get credit for the new baby but when you enter the amount your received, it is going to show as correct since you are not claiming the other child that you received the payment for.   However, dad will get the credit for the child he is claiming since he did not receive the payment for him, you did.   Dad will only report what he received and his payment did not include a payment for the child, as it went to you.   Congrats on the new baby!   @Shellyshelly2
