So I filed my taxes... I used one child like I was supposed to and the other child is for him. I am under the understanding that my second child qualifies me for the HOH designation and the EIC and my ex gets the child tax credit on him. Is this correct? My ex is stating that he cannot use the child on his form because it states that he has already been used but I don't have him as a dependent on my tax form. Does my ex have to file by mail to send the 8332 in with it to get the child tax credit on the child I did not get it on? I am confused as to why he says he cannot claim the child tax credit on that child. I am the custodial parent and he is the non-custodial parent. I am sorry for all of the questions but when I got to the area where it asked me if the other parent would claim him I said yes. Thanks for answering!
