Ok so if I find out I am the father of a child that was born in july of 2006 and I am charged with back pay of childsupport can I claim that child on my tax return as a qualifying child as long as I claim that the child is not my dependant? Mind you if I am the father I would end up paying childsupport sometime next month.
I played around with it via taxslayer.com and the difference is about $2000 which is why I ask.
Oh ya I am married with a child on the way with another woman.
