I know alot of parents claim there children and get big tax returns I'm wondering how it works? I have my child full time and wasn't able to work if I only made $4000 and then collected unemployment. I know unemployment doesn't count as earned income so would I qualify for all of the child tax credits ? It says online you can't make more than $40,000 and your single claiming a child but is there and amount you have to make I couldn't find anything ? Also my son only sees his father on Sundays because of drugs I filed for child support but haven't received a payment if he files his taxes would my son get his tax return ? Could he claim my son on his taxes if he doesn't live with him? Thank you !
