@Hal_Al I am hoping you can help me. Can you share with me the tax law ruling that determined that these expenses not paid by the custodial parent can be claimed?
I'm the custodial parent and pay for daycare and summer camp but my ex pays for after school care per our decree. He doesn't pay child support as we agreed he would pay this one expense. I have claimed it on my taxes as it was money that would have been paid to me, but he just pays the school directly. Now I'm concerned I've messed up since the pubs state I technically must pay. I remember reading this a few years ago when the ruling was made and it's what helped me determine I could however now I can't find it and I'm concerned I've messed up. I'd appreciate your input. Thank you!
