Deductions & credits

Just a add a few thought about Medicaid ... State laws vary, but based on the Federal rules your child does not qualify for Medicaid.  The eligibility would be based on BOTH of your incomes, and with about $100,000 of income, it is doubtful the child qualifies.

 

And if you were to claim the child (rather than your girlfriend), that could affect your girlfriend's eligibility for Medicaid.

 

So you and your girlfriend may want to look into your State's Medicaid eligibility rules.
