Edward Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Have client living with undocumented woman who has a 4 year old child from a person other than client. The child was born in the US and has a valid SSAN. Client has provided support for the child for all of 2007. Am I correct in assuming the following for client: a. EIC - No b. HH Filing Status - No c. Child Tax Credit - YES (He gets the exemption for the child, and thus he should qualify for the CTC? d. 300.00 Rebate for the child - Yes, as he gets the CTC & child is under 17? This is the FIRST experience with this type of relationship and will appreciate your help... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainen Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 >>He gets the exemption for the child, and thus he should qualify for the CTC?<< Like EIC and HoH, CTC and the rebate are based on a qualifying child. The toddler does not pass the relationship test and so is not a qualifying child. Assuming the natural mother has no filing requirement, your client can probably claim the child's exemption under the different rules for a qualifying relative.
