I (21) have an almost 1yo son. We both live with my mom as she’s been nice enough to let me stay and finish school while living under her roof. My boyfriend does not live with us but he does provide health insurance for the baby as well as every other expense (clothes, diapers, wipes, copays, baby gear). Today my mom mentioned wanting to claim my son on her taxes and I let her know that his dad already claimed him. She was very upset and it made me feel awful. Should I have not let his dad do that? What do I do now?
EDIT: Thanks for all the good info. Sent this link to my boyfriend and we did more research. He will be giving her all the money he receives.
