Deductions & credits

You have another thread in which you received replies.   

 

Your "ex" made too much to receive any child-related credits.

 

He made way too much to get earned income credit.

 

He made too much to get the child tax credit if he is filing a joint return and made over $400,000 or over $200,00 filing single.

 

He is not the custodial parent so he cannot get the childcare credit.

 

He made too much to get the  $1400 3rd EIP payment for claiming the child: 

Payments will be phased out – or reduced -- above these AGI amounts. This means taxpayers will not receive a third payment if their AGI exceeds:

  • $160,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
  • $120,000 if filing as head of household or
  • $80,000 for eligible individuals using other filing statuses, such as single filers and married people filing separate returns.

 

That's it.   You can claim your child and your "ex" is not missing out on any tax benefit he would get if you do not claim the child.
