I currently have a Fianc?e that I met a few years ago and now I have 2 step children. My fianc?e is a stay at home mom to my daughter and step kids and the agreement with the step kids dad is that she claims one and he claims the other kid. She has had 0 work income in two years and I have been supporting the family, she does get minimal child support. Since she is not working and doesn't have a W-2 and I believe she doesn't need to file, that leaves a void for her kid to be claimed on her taxes. I asked my tax guy last year about claiming a step child and he mentioned it can raise a FLAG since the last name is different. Her EX is a douche, so there is no considering of letting him claim the 2 kids and splitting the return. What are my options at this point if any or options for my Fianc?e? I am in Sales and have been for 19 years, so my returns have plenty of write offs. Any and all experiences and advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
