Terms of use

Terms of use

Plain-language terms for using Who Claims the Kid.com. By using this site you agree to them.

1. What this site is

Who Claims the Kid.com (the "site") is a free, informational calculator and reference about which divorced or separated parent claiming a child yields more total household benefit, and whether Form 8332 is required. It is operated by Red Goggles LLC ("we," "us"). By accessing or using the site you agree to these terms; if you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2. Not professional advice

The site provides general information and estimates for educational purposes only. It is not tax, legal, financial, or accounting advice, and using it does not create any professional or advisory relationship. Estimates are not determinations of who may claim a child, guarantees of any credit amount, or a substitute for reading your divorce decree. Always confirm your specific situation with IRS Publication 501, Form 8332, or a qualified tax professional or attorney. See our full disclaimer.

3. Accuracy and "as is"

We build the calculator from published IRS figures and take accuracy seriously, but the underlying law, dollar thresholds, and dates change and can contain errors. The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

4. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Red Goggles LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for any decision you make based on the site or its estimates — including how you or another parent claim a child or sign a release. Your sole remedy if you're dissatisfied is to stop using the site.

5. Your inputs and privacy

The calculator runs entirely in your browser; we don't collect the income, custody, filing-status, or child values you enter. Your use of the site is also governed by our privacy statement.

6. Intellectual property

The site's text, design, and code are owned by Red Goggles LLC or used under license. You may read, share links to, and quote reasonable excerpts with attribution. You may not copy the site wholesale, or scrape or republish it as your own.

7. Third-party links and advertising

The site links to third-party resources (such as the IRS and sibling calculators) and is supported by display advertising. We don't control third-party sites or ads and aren't responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices.

8. Changes

We may update the site and these terms from time to time. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
