Child Tax Credit Dispute My daughter and her son lived with me for the entire year without paying rent or helping with the utilities. She did provide the majority of food for herself and her child as well as most of his clothing.
I feel I have the right to claim him as I provided the vast majority of support. What I offered to do was compute how much I would save if I claimed him, then let her claim him (because she would get more than I would) and have her pay me what I would have gotten.
Once I told her how much the credit is worth to her, she wants to claim him and is being quite the brat about it.
Is it her right to claim her child even if they freeloaded off me all year? |
