Ladies: If a you "were" in a relationship with a man, that helps and plays the father role in your child's life, and he's not the child's father, and the real father isn't even in the picture, and you and this man is no longer in a relationship but he still treats your child like his own, I mean he pays daycare, clothes, make sure the child is well taken care of, when your taxes come, do you give him half of the child tax return?
Men, you can answer this also in terms of if you feel if you were entitled to half of the tax return and why.
No, you take care of your own child financially and do not allow anyone else to give you money for their care. You also adjust your taxes so you have a very small return or owe a small amount.
Well some feel that if they helped raise the child even though the child isn't biologically theirs that the person who filed the taxes and gets a return should at least give them some of that tax return. Hence, the feeling of entitlement.
Stop asking your boyfriend to help raise (and pay for your child) and this won't be an issue.
The child tax credit, not just income tax withheld, was enacted to help low income families support the child. What is the Child Tax Credit? Do I Qualify for the Credit?
I know you said he has helped you with expenses but he is doing that to make your child's life better. I would keep any money you receive to do that.
