Yes she is my step daughter. I apologize on using the incorrect terminology, this is all very new to me. The biological mother and my husband alternate years for the child tax credit. We are just trying to get an idea on what are we even allowed for filing this year, with so many differences. I'm assuming that my step daughters mother will be claiming the child tax again, because my husband wouldn't be allowed to, due to being incarcerated. If that's the case, okay. But then how do he and I go about filing? Separate or together?
