We are missing some important information. Who is the custodial parent? The IRS only cares who the children live with -- at least 183 nights of the year. The custodial parent can claim the children. If there is a signed Form 8332, then the custodial parent can still file Head of Household, get the childcare credit and earned income credit, The non-custodial parent gets the child tax credit for children under the age of 17.
