Federal Tax Form 8901 - Information on Qualifying Children Who Are Not Dependents

Tax Form 8901 is used to give the IRS information on any qualifying child (defined on back) who is not your dependent. To figure the amount of your child tax credit, see the instructions for Form 1040A, line 33, or Form 1040, line 52.

Use Form 8901 if your qualifying child is not your dependent because either of the following applies:

  • You, or your spouse if filing jointly, can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's 2005 return.
  • Your qualifying child is married and files a joint return for 2005 (unless that joint return is filed only as a claim for a refund and no tax liability would exist for either spouse if they had filed separate returns).
