Recent tax law changes have in case,granted greater clarity in the rules with regard to claiming a dependent child on your Federal tax return. The "Uniform Definition of a Child" became effective with the Working Families Tax Relief Act of 2004. This law cleared up some ambiguity with regard to who has the right to claim a child and benefit from the dependency exemption, the child tax credit, the earned earnings reputation (Eic), the child and dependent care credit, and the head of household (Hoh) status.
The uniform definition of a child has four tests for claiming a child:

2. Dependent must be a qualifying relative (born or legally adopted child of taxpayer, legitimate look after child, brother, sister, stepbrother, or stepsister of the taxpayer or descendant of such a relative);
3. The child must be under age 19 at the end of the tax year if not a full-time student or under age 24 if a full-time student;
4. In addition, the dependent child must not supply more than 50% of his or her own withhold for the calendar year.
Simple, right? Not exactly. There are instances where two people might try and claim the same child and meet any of the above tests. In those instances; there are "tie-breakers" or rules to sort out the one who can claim the kids. If two folks claim the same child on cut off tax returns, only one will get the dependency exemption. The parent will get that right if the other party claiming the child is not a parent. If no parent is involved, the taxpayer with the higher adjusted gross earnings (Agi) will claim the qualifying child. If the child is claimed by two parents on cut off returns, the child will be given to the one with whom the child lived the longest while the tax year. If the child lived the same number of time with both, the child goes to the parent with the highest Agi. A taxpayer may sign a Form 8332 and grant a non-custodial parent the right to claim a child.
There are other factors to reconsider in situations where an additional one person might try and claim your dependents. The first person to file a tax return may be given the dependents and the Eic etc by Irs. f that happens, you may be unable to efile and claim the kids as the return will be rejected electronically. In this situation a paper return can be filed with the dependents claimed. Once Irs gets the return and processes it, they will edify you of the discrepancy. An occasion will be given to "prove" who is the taxpayer that may claim the child. Should a paper return claiming a child be upheld, a reimbursement will create and the other person who got a bogus reimbursement will face a tax assessment. The Irs is cracking down hard on Eic fraud. Do not try and "trade off" dependents as there are severe penalties for abuse of the Eic.
