My wife and I are filing seperate returns due to my student loan repayment plan (filing jointly would make the loan servicer recalculate my monthly payment based on both our incomes, greatly increasing the monthly payment). The question is: If we file seperatly can my wife claim my daughter and receive the child tax credit? I was told that since we both live in the same household she cannot receive the child tax credit if she claims our daughter as a dependent.
