Currently, misinformation is being shared via social media and other sources regarding changes to the child tax credit. At this time, there has been no change to federal or state laws that would limit the ability of a parent to claim their child for tax purposes. If there are changes in the future, those will be posted here. For more information or questions regarding tax return preparation, please contact your tax preparer, the IRS or the Kansas Department of Revenue.
Kansas Child Support Services
Kansas Child Support Services (CSS) helps children receive the financial support necessary for their growth and development. The program assists by establishing parentage and orders for child and medical support, locating noncustodial parents and their property, enforcing child and medical support orders, and modifying support orders as appropriate.
CSS automatically serves families receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Food Assistance, medical, foster care, and child care assistance. Assistance from CSS is also available to any family regardless of income or residency, who applies for our services.
For more information view Kansas CSS Handbook or visit the Federal Office of Child Support Services website.
