So your kids don’t use electricity or water & they sleep outside instead of under the roof of the house he pays a mortgage for ? They don’t benefit from internet or phones or wi fi ? Oh & you don’t either ??

Bless the kids heart for having to be in the middle of that without even knowing it. Goodness gracious alive! Sounds like a serious greed problem on your part.
If y’all are living together and raising the kids together under the same roof then he has just as much right to claim the kids as you. Ask the irs

If y’all living together, taking care of your kids together and you’re fighting over who gets to claim kids, y’all need to separate. Two kids. Two set of taxes. Hmm wonder how you could split that up. 
Unless you are delivering these clothes and food to the kids in the dog house you bought instead of the heated, lit house, pretty sure he is contributing. 
Yall need to stop being petty and think of your kids.

Maybe each claim 1, but either way the income sounds like it is coming back into the home no matter who claims them.

Boyfriend of 10 years and you’re still in the mindset of mine VS his?!
They’re his children too.
Sounds like he’s paying to provide a warm, safe home for you all to live in, bills that all directly contribute to the children and yourself
You need to step out of the mindset of mine VS his and come up with a plan together.

You have 2 children, why don’t you each claim one? Any money you all are getting back should go to the kids or bills anyways right?

Umm, all of those expenses have to do with kids unless your kids don’t live there. I’m assuming you all live together so whoever gets the better tax break should claim them if you share expenses like that.

Well maintenance on a home is taking care of your children as well, I understand how much kids are from childcare and such but when a man pays child support, utilities and all are taken into account.

No tell him to take a flying jump "& as for paying for a roof over your head he has to do that for himself as he lives there
He is providing for them aswell. The light, gas, water bill do change if there’s more than 1 person living at home. Its fair if you claim 1 and he claims 1. Even though your around the children majority of the time, the fact that he pays for all Utilities and Mortgage is considered providing.

Whoever received the early tax credit has to claim them

That’s crazy how he is still your boyfriend. Idk but here in Texas it’s considered “common law marriage.” But everyone mindset is different. But this sounds like your more of “my” when it should be “ours” but if your with him for 10 years & STILL acting like this. Then why are you with him.? I mean. You can pay EVERYTHING by yourself. Since your mindset is already set like that. It shouldn’t be much of a difference. 
just my opinion

If you took the early child tax payments whoever received that money needs to claim them. If you don’t do it that way you’ll end up owing all that money back and in considered in fraud for taking payments on dependants your not claiming

What do you mean his expenses don’t pay for the children? So let him not pay the mortgage or the electric and water. Then you’d complain your kids are homeless with bo water or heat. Your being selfish

Actually, when married or in a domestic relationship, according to the IRS, whoever made the most at the end of the year is the one who claims the children. Because they file as Head of Household.

If their not his children, how can he claim either of them. If he hasn’t done it before, it will raise all kinds of RED FLAGS. He will be tagged.
Unless you have worked it out with the courts differently it is the parent that the child lives with to be able to claim them on their taxes. The children have to be living with you for more than half the year to be able to claim them.
By law whichever if you makes more money is supposed to claim them

I think it should be split into 2 bank accounts or you each claim a child. Simple as that geez
Do Y’all go to an Accountant or someone else to do your taxes?
If you do, ask them to do Y’all’s taxes different ways –
Filing joint, w/ the Youngin’s and with him as HOH.
Filing separately, You claiming the Youngin’s.
Filing separately, Him claiming the Youngin’s.
Filing separately, each of you claiming 1 Child.
Keep a sheet of each way that is tried and how much it brings back altogether between the both of you.
THEN make your decision.
First off he is providing shelter which is part of the financial responsibilities of a parent. You bathe the kids, that means they’re using the water he pays for, I’m sure they watch TV, play games, use the light, I’m sure you wash their clothes which is using his electricity and water. You put the food you buy them in the fridge that uses his electricity. You cook with the gas or electric stove that he pays for. And I’m almost positive those kids either each have their own rooms or at least share a room and that a room he pays for so just stop being greedy with the big refund you’re trying to pocket to offset what you pay towards the kids and let him claim one seeing that you’re only paying part of the cost
