I have 3 children and they do their own taxes. Do I have to claim their income on my taxes? Don't see why I should get less back when they do their own tax return.

Depending on how much each of their income is, their net income may not affect the credits you receive. If you support your children, it may be advantageous to claim them. Please see the links below for more information.
