My girlfriend and I have two children together. She, and our children, also live with me. She claimed both children on her tax return. I'm attempting to claim the childcare expenses I paid last year; however, it keeps flagging my tax return for claiming them as "Nondependent". Is there any way for me to claim the childcare?
If all of you live together with your children, the children can only be claimed on one tax return. One of you could file as Head of Household and claim the children and the child-related credits and the other parent files Single and enters nothing about the children. That "sharing" of child related credits you may have heard about is only done between divorced or never married parents who live apart and share custody.
