Advance Child Tax Credit check question
My boyfriend, who has custody of his children & is not receiving any child
support, is about to receive an check from the IRS for the advance child tax credit. Here's the issue... They filed with the status of married filing jointly - since at the time my boy friend was clueless to his ex's cheating ways and what was about to hit him. She did some baby sitting last year, but nothing really grand - and it really hurt in terms of taxes than helped. So the majority of their income came from him. The advance payment check is on its way, but in both his & hers names. So he needs her to sign the check. Question: What if she refuses to sign unless she receives part of the money? What can he do? If you were in his situation, would you share in the check? If so, how much? He plans on using the check to purchase school clothing & supplies for the kids. He strongly feels that since she is not paying any child support, nor does she take the kids like she is suppose to, she should not receive anything. Thanks in advance.

Advance Child Tax Credit check question
If it comes in both names he can return it to the IRS and wait till he
fills taxes in the spring to get it without her name on the check. This highlights a flaw I had not thought of in regards to advancing these tax credits, How is the IRS to know how (under what status) one will file their taxes before they have done so?

He can use a trick my ex pulled on me once that cost me a lot of money. Get her to endorse the check in exchange for him giving her a personal check to cover her half. Then put a stop payment on the check he writes to her. That way he gets 100% of the check amount and it only costs him the stop payment fee. Another option is to have you, or another person with female handwriting, endorse the check as if you are the co-payee. The ex will never know what happened and the fact they had joint checking accounts previously will make this okay. The Oregon courts will back up either fraudulent act. Just cite my case. |

But he needs the money now - as school is approaching and he needs money to purchase school clothes, etc. This highlights a flaw I had not thought of in regards to advancing these tax credits, How is the IRS to know how (under what status) one will file their taxes before they have done so? They are basing the amount on last years tax return. They've done this before.

I have some time to talk to him about this more... perhaps by the time he crosses that bridge there won't be an issue because he's more willing to negotiate. ;-) Tracy ~~~~~~~ http://www.hornschuch.net/tracy/ "You can't solve problems with the same type of thinking that created them."

Advance Child Tax Credit check question
Why is he not receiving CS? If by mutual agreement, he could tell her that
continuance of the agreement is contingent on her signing that check. My boyfriend, who has custody of his children & is not receiving any child support, is about to receive an check from the IRS for the advance child tax credit. Here's the issue... They filed with the status of married filing jointly - since at the time my boy friend was clueless to his ex's cheating ways and what was about to hit him. She did some baby sitting last year, but nothing really grand - and it really hurt in terms of taxes than helped. So the majority of their income came from him. The advance payment check is on its way, but in both his & hers names. So he needs her to sign the check. Question: What if she refuses to sign unless she receives part of the money? What can he do? If you were in his situation, would you share in the check? If so, how much? NO WAY. That check is supposedly for costs associated with raising the kid(s) THIS year. If he's already had them the majority of the time and will continue to do so for the rest of the year, those are HIS costs. Since she is paying nothing to offset HIS costs for the kids, she'd have to have them nearly half the time to justify no CS AND getting part of that check... He plans on using the check to purchase school clothing & supplies for the kids. He strongly feels that since she is not paying any child support, nor does she take the kids like she is suppose to, she should not receive anything. He is correct. Mel Gamble Thanks in advance.

t... If it comes in both names he can return it to the IRS and wait till he fills taxes in the spring to get it without her name on the check. Can someone do this? *IF* there was a way to actually return the check, it would seem so. If he/they HADN'T received the check, he would be claiming the credit when he files his taxes for this year (based on the financial details you've provided). The problem is in returning the check and getting an acknowledgement that it was received by IRS. This probably isn't as much of a problem as it might seem, due to the fact that there will probably be MILLIONS of returns next year which will not acknowledge the receipt of the credit in advance...it may well be an "error" that IRS will turn a blind eye to. In which case he could just destroy the check (to keep his conscience clear) and file based on not having received it. But he needs the money now - as school is approaching and he needs money to purchase school clothes, etc. So tell her she's going to be paying at minimum $50/month through the state if she doesn't sign off.... This highlights a flaw I had not thought of in regards to advancing these tax credits, How is the IRS to know how (under what status) one will file their taxes before they have done so? They are basing the amount on last years tax return. ******************************* They've done this before. ******************************* ??????????? Mel Gamble Tracy |
