bd trying to claim child for taxes

Ok so this year I am going to claim my daughter for income tax. The father of my daughter asked me was I going to claim her I told him yes. He told me "ok next year I'm going to claim her" and I told him he is NOT!!
I am NOT about to allow him to claim her! For what!? He just wants the money! He's not even going to give me or our daughter the money! (Daughter is 6monts old). I am going to bc half of it is going into her bank account, I don't blow money unlike him! If he claims her he is just going to buy weed or stupid stuff. He blows money. And I know he just wants the money and stuff bc he kept saying something like "every child gets like 1200" and just talking about how much. Idk who he thinks he is talking to me like that. Plus he NEVER helps financially w out daughter. Except one time! He bought some clothes, and a pack of diapers and wipes. He NEVER helps other thn that! If he was giving me money, u kno to help w her or buying stuff it will b ok for him to claim her. When I ask him for some money or him to purchase the stuff, he says "no she's good, your mom said Eva had everything" blabla. Like come on now! U should get stuff as a father!
(Sorry for venting lol)
But anyways is there a way that he can not claim her next year? Or he can if w want? Even tho he never helps and NEVER sees her!
He shouldn't have the right to claim her when he's not even parenting or helping!
He does not have no type of custody and he is not on child support etc.

He can't file without her SSN. Don't give it to him.

Tell him no, even if he paid child support you are her primary care giver he can't legally claim her. If he does without your permission (which he can't without her soc) you can report it as fraud.

Does he have her living with him and supporting her on his own more then 6 months out of the year? If not, inform him it is ILLEGAL for him to claim her and you will be more than happy to file a claim against him if he tries that smurf. And just try to file as early as you can, that way you can get it in before he does and if he tries it'll put up a red flag and he'll be in deep smurf.

Just make sure you claim her first every year. If he tries to claim her, and you claimed her as well, BOTH of you will be audited. Then all you will have to do is prove the child has been in your care for over half of the year. He doesn't finanically support your child or have custody. Don't worry about it. It'll be easy to prove who takes care of her.

He has to prove that he provided for her and that she lived with him for at 6 months out of the year in order to claim her.
BD tried to claim DD one year and I went to claim her and didn't know he did it. He ended up having to pay back every cent they gave him the following year.

If she lives with you more than 50% of the year he can't claim her unless he fills out some special form and you sign it. Or unless its in the custody agreement that he claim her every other year or something. I would hurry and file your taxes asap because if he does it first and claims her then you try to it will be a mess getting it all sorted out.

He legally can't claim her anyway. That's fraud since he doesn't provide for her.

She will automatically be filed into your taxes next year anyways, so even if he tries you'll have to "unclaim" her in order for him to claim her.

Lol ok. Thank you sooooo much ladies! Whew*
Very helpful thanks  

Also, do NOT give him her Social Security number. You need that to claim her.

If he's not supporting her, he has no right to claim her.
If he tries to, he'll get in trouble.
So if you're her primary care giver, you keep claiming her, every year.
He has no say.

Most custody agreements have child support negotiated and with most people normally alternate claiming the child every other year.

Does he have her SS number? if not then he can't claim her anyway... and you make sure he NEVER gets a hold of it EVER

if i were you i would not allow him to claim her who ever supports her for more then 70 % of the year is who has that right and sounds like to me he doesnt even support her a quarter of that beside your doing the best for her by setting up a bank account for her she will appreciate it more in the end and her father well thats another story be strong stand your ground and if claims her before u do i would report him to the irs for fraud i have had to deal with stuff like this in the past and believe me there are ways to make them understand no mean no !!! good luck
