I pay 1200 a month and still cant claim my son. its a joke how the system is set up to just bleed dads dry.
the IRS treats me like a stranger to my own kid when tax season rolls around. tired of this double standard.
This is so unfair. my husband pays for everything but the ex gets all the tax breaks. ridiculous.
if im paying half the cost to raise the kid i should get half the credit. seems simple enough but the gov doesnt want that.
TOTAL SCAM. child support is tax free for them but i get taxed on the money i pay out. needs to change now.

A man can pay almost all of the bills for a child and the mother still gets the tax credit? The person who pays for the kid should be able to claim something, after all, that is what the child tax credit was created for.
