I'm wondering how it's possible that an '08 return a filer listed a dependent, while that dependent listed another dependent and received the "Child Tax Credit?"
While the filer could not receive the "Child Tax Credit" due to the fact the child living with him wasn't legally bond, but was provided for that entire year. He was able to file both as dependents.
I understand that you cannot claim a dependent if you are being claimed as a dependent. So is it possible to receive the "Child Tax Credit" without claiming a dependent?
