You don't have to claim Tax Credits if you don't want to. If you live with someone as husband and wife it must be a joint claim and all inforamtion will be signed by both of you.,,,,if your partner isn't saying how much he earns it is likely it is too much to qualify for Tax credits unless he is being silly

The Child Tax Credit reduces your tax liablity, which means you'll owe less or nothing.


It wouldn't make any sense not to.


Even if you don't claim it, the IRS may catch it and fix it themselves.
