@SweetieJean Maybe not for tax purposes, but he is definitely my stepson. For 13 of his 14 years.
I am the biological father of the other two boys, yes.
So I claimed my 4 year old, with the dependent deduction, the tax credit, the daycare deduction and the EIC (income too high for that.) I also took Head of Household.
Mother claimed the 9 year old, with all the deductions/credits/benefits, and claimed the EIC only for the 14 year old. Single.
Does this sound correct everyone? Thanks for a your help so far.
