Yes, your partner can claim your child on his 2020 taxes as qualifying child as long as they meet the following requirements:
- The child is related to him.
- The child isn't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- The child is a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- The child is under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- The child lived with him for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
- The child didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
If your partner claims your child then you cannot claim your child on your tax return. You are currently both claiming your child as custodial parent and this will cause that one of your returns will get rejected when you file.
