Child support is <STRONG>not taxable</STRONG> income to the receiving parent and <STRONG>not deductibl</STRONG>e by the paying parent, whether it is paid or unpaid. &nbsp;Child support is handled through the court or state child support enforcement, not the IRS. Your tax return filing is not affected by whether the other parent is current or behind on payments.</SPAN></P> Mon, 02 Feb 2026 15:25:12 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-can-i-claim-back-child-support-that-i-m-owed-from-non-custodial-parent-on-my-taxes/01/3752562#M1392944 CesarJ 2026-02-02T15:25:12Z
