Party A Party B
Party A Party B
For years following those listed above while this Child Support Order remains in effect, the parties shall
repeat the pattern above of claiming deductions for each child.
Party A or Party B may claim the allocated tax exemptions only if all support and arrears
ordered for the year have been paid by December 31 of that year. An Internal Revenue Service form
8332 may need to be signed and filed with a party’s income tax return. See IRS Form 8332 for more
detailed information.
Party A or Party B may unconditionally claim the tax exemption allocated to Party A or
Party B for income tax purposes. An Internal Revenue Service Form 8332 may need to be signed
and filed with a party’s income tax return.
See IRS Form 8332 for more detailed information.

the right to claim the child as a dependent for the purposes of federal taxes, these orders are not
binding on the IRS. Under the Affordable Care Act, the party who claims a child as a dependent on
a federal tax return has the obligation to ensure that the child is covered by medical insurance and
may be penalized by the IRS for failing to do so. This penalty may be imposed even if it is the other
party’s responsibility to carry medical insurance on t he child under the Decree of Dissolution of
Marriage.
