If two people have the ability to file a child, should the one who makes more money or the one who makes less money use the child as a dependent?


Rate This Answer

According to the IRS, the person who has custody of the child should claim the child as a dependent. If two people share custody, they must work out between them who claims the child. Having said that, my opinion is the person with more money because they will gain more benefit, but that is only my opinion.
