An additonal tax credit for medical cash paid by the "good parent" will be given at 5% for current year court ordered amount. Not eligilbe for tax credit are prior year arrears, fees, and penalties.

Verbal child support agreements will not qualify for the "good parent" tax credit. Only child support cases monitored by state and/or county agencies will qualify for this tax credit.
