Does anyone know much about tax laws?My husband pays support year round/every year without delay for his daughter.We have never been able to claim her on our tax return.BM countless new husbands/boyfriends have every year.Most only work a month or two out of the whole year.How can it be legal for these people to be even getting this much back,working such a short time?Drawing help from the goverment.I'm talking 4 or 5 thousand each tax return.When my husband pays extra every year in support,buys school clothes and countless other items through the year.I know this sounds terible to some that im wineing about it.But it gets upsetting,new-S-dad work three weeks this year,and theyll get their useal 4 or 5 thou.And we'll see hardly anyhting spent on her,if anything at all!And countless items for the S-dad an BM.Were when we get our tax return any and all money we receive for our child goes on our child.And it would be the same for her.I guess this post became a vent along with questions.Sorry!!!!
