If u not filing taxes to claim your child let them and tell them that’s your share of the rent. 6 or more months u dont pay rent.
Sounds like you are living under their roof and they are paying all the bills supporting you and your daughter, if so they could claims her as a dependant.
They don’t support her so they shouldn’t claim her
The child is not theirs. Claim the child. You have the right.
U can talk to tax office have it revised. Or else they try filing her every year.
Find an attorney who has a sliding scale based on your income or for free.
Do not sign anything ever for your parents.
refuse them --it is not their right and you can be in trouble if you allow it
They have to get a paper signed by u saying you give them permission so if u didnt and u claim them they have to pay it all back went through this already so thats up to u
Talk to a tax advisor. Seems There is something missing from the story here…how are you a “stay at home mom” on a military base, living with your parents? I thought it was for enlisted and their dependants…or are they claiming you as well?
It seems more likely they would get in trouble for renting space to you.
I doubt they can claim your daughter of they aren’t the legal guardians.
No matter what, get a job and you and your daughter move out. No issues then.
They can’t claim her unless you allow them to do so
I’d call the IRS and find out what they say…u may be going against the law if they claim her and they do not support her especially with you paying rent and for all things you and your child need.
No right at all to claim her. Especially since they have not paid for her up keep and you cook and clean for them. They are greedy
Nope, and they could get in big trouble if the try to claim her!!!
No she’s your dependant. They have no right to claim her unless you let them.
if both of you file to claim her the irs will investigate and see who provides for her, etc. and they will determine who can claim her
If you don’t work , then how can you claim her ?

My opinion they are in the worry. She is your child you should be claiming her
If u pay rent n they don’t pay anything for u or ur children then they should not clam the children
They have no right to claim your child!
Legally they can claim both of you of you lived in your parents home for 6 months or more.
File your taxes before they do and if they try to claim her then their taxes will get bounced back.
Actually they have committed tax fraud by claiming her without a court order or your written permission to do so. I would sit down and let them know that it had better not happen again or else you will file charges for fraud.
Nope you claim her that’s your right if they do they can get in trouble don’t let them
If you’re not working,how would u claim her?

Tell them she’s your daughter and you are claiming her. ( that will avoid red tape in the event you both claim)
If your on a military base why are you paying rent??? Your parents dont pay rent power or water living on post so why are you paying them rent that’s considered fraud if you ask me .
The law is that you paid for over half her support, you get the tax deduction.
She is your s. To claim but they can . But it is a parent cant
They could get in trouble for not reporting rent they are receiving from you.
You Are supporting your child you have every right to claim your child on your taxes
And if you are paying your Parents Rent, They better be claiming that as income also!!
They just want the tax break that’s why they try to claim her but you need to claim her you need the tax refund more in your situation

They have to be her guardians to claim her did you sign away your rights to her ? Tell them no! Then move out!
Nope can’t claim her I’d file first thing then when they try it will kick it back
Can u risk it if you don’t? I’d do it only if the money you get back is used to get you out of the home. They can kick u out if they choose.
You absolutely won’t get in trouble if you claim ur own child… altho if u don’t work, you have no taxes to file??? Why not let them claim her since no one else technically are? I can’t see how the father of the child can cuz he’s in another country & as said you didn’t work so you have no taxes to file!! If no one else can benefit from claiming ur daughter… why not let ur parents claim her?? Confused??

No they can not unless they have guardian ship of her other wise they can not
It’s wrong to claim her unless they are truly supporting her
They can’t claim her. Only if u allow it!
If they haven’t financially supported for at least 6 months they can’t. If your paying rent and other stuff its like your renting from them.
They have no legal rights to claiming her… in most states grandparents have no rights period
No because otherwise they will have her ssn saved and do it even when you move out.
And you don’t have to pay rent they live in military housing it’s against the law they charging for the rent but paying for food need to move out if parents doing this to you they want money
Ask a tax lawyer definitely because they may be getting money they’re not entitled to
No they can’t unless they pay 50% of the cost
They have to prove that they provide more than 50 percent of yours and hers care
Don’t they have to have legal custody to claim her?
Who provides her health insurance? Etc?
I wonder if the parents are filing a Sch E and paying taxes on the rental income they are receiving?
If they haven’t supported her for 6 months or more they can not claim her and you can contact the irs and make sure they dont I know here you have to have ss card and birth certificate plus a written letter giving permission I would not let them you are the one supporting her not them
If you provide for your child she is your defendant and if they falsely claim her they can be prosecuted for tax fraud.
Is a falling out with your parents worth all this?
It is your dependent. They have no claim. Greed
Not enough info to make that determination.
You provide for het, not them. What They did can be considered illegal
If you are stay home mom how are you filing taxes.
When it comes to adult children living with parents especially on base. You are not providing close to half support for you or your child. The food you are providing is mostly lightly food stamps.
Yes your parents can claim your child on there taxes.
The child’s father is British citizen if he’s supporting you and your child you would have your own home. He is putting all his money into the visa in process. The crumbs of money is sending you know it not supporting you and your child.
Both your parents are probably both working and you the stay home mom. I am sure since you live with your parents you have left your child with your parents you live in the same home. I seen too many times adult children use there parents. But the adult children make it like I pay rent but food and clean the house. All I can say is grow up get your own home

Are u listed as a dependent and on their medical?
They can’t your child no matter what they think. You may have to a lawyer or the IRS involved. But don’t wait.
No they sit have a right and yes they can get in trouble for claiming them illegally
They can’t do it legally… you have to give consent
Are they claiming the rent you pay them as income?
You r really going against parents that provide for u and ur daughter ???
Unless they have custody then you claim the child
They technically provide over 50 of her care Because she lives with them Because YOU do.
I am still trying to figure out how you are a stay at home mom, pay rent, but no job.

If you have no income, what would you file?
Who paid for the birth of the child and all her medical bills and yours. Who pays the utilities and rent if any. There is also cable, internet, phone and etc. when you say food do you cook and store all your food Separate and cook for just yourself. Where do you do the laundry and who pays for it. If you can do all this and pay rent without your parents help move out then claim yourself and child until that be great full that they let you live with them.

They have no right to claim her you do just saying if you claim her first they cant claim her
My mother did that to me , I paid her monthly to live there. SHE was audited by the IRS .
They can not claim her. Especially if u gave proof that u pay rent…
They would have to claim rent as income.
If you have no income you do not need the tax deduction. If you declare income taxes you need to claim the child, if you do not, then someone is entitled to claim her, you can work out in exchange how that will work financially with your parents and you should be very grateful that they are providing you with a home for both of you even if you pay something. If you are not employed, it is hard to believe that you have much to contribute to the room and board situation for you and your daughter.

Does a momhave the right to take her daughter’s money if she lives with her
You wont get into trouble they will. She is your child!!!
Who else is wanting to claim her she says she dont work
Only one of you can claim Daughter,
You have the right to claim her, not your parents.
Yes you need to cuz you are doing everything for her
You claim her. You support her. In order for them to claim her, they have to provide at least 50% of her care. My daughter and granddaughter live with me. My daughter pays for granddaughter’s care, so she claims her.
Nope , if you are caring for her 100% then you claim her.
They can not claim her on their taxes, nor can they claim
You!
Don’t give them her SS number and they won’t be able to…
She’s your daughter and they have no right to claim her you should claim her
Call the IRS and they will give you the answer you need
