michaelmars Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I was just asked this and hope someone knows off the top of their head. couple is divorced and husband has custody. wife gets to claim exemption per divorce decree. Who gets the child tax credit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 It is my understanding that you have to claim the child as a dependent on your tax return to be able to claim the child tax credit. However, it is also my understanding that merely having the divorce decree state which person may claim the exemption does not necessarily make it so according to the IRS.
