FATHER, AS THE NONCUSTODIAL PARENT PROVIDING MOST OF THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE CHILDREN, WAS ENTITLED TO DECLARE THE CHILDREN DEPENDENTS FOR INCOME TAX PURPOSES (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) Supreme Court, determined father, as the noncustodial parent contributing most of the financial support for the children, was entitled to declare the children dependents for income-tax purposes:

Where, as here, the noncustodial parent is contributing the majority of the financial support of the parties’ children, “the court may determine that the noncustodial parent is entitled to declare the children as dependents on his or her income tax returns” … . Accordingly, under the circumstances here, the plaintiff is entitled to declare all of the parties’ unemancipated children as his dependents for income tax purposes … . Miller v Miller, 2023 NY Slip Op 02872, Second Dept 5-31-23

Practice Point: Here father, as the noncustodial parent providing most of the financial support for the children, was entitled to declare the children dependents for income tax purposes.
