Parent of a Kidnapped Child. The parent of a child who is presumed by law enforcement authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a family member may be able to take the child into account in determining his or her eligibility for the head of household or qualifying widow(er) filing status, deduction for dependents, child tax credit, and the earned income credit (EIC). For details, see Pub. 501 (Pub. 596 for the EIC).

Payments to Holocaust Victims. Restitution payments received by holocaust victims or their heirs after 1999 (and certain interest earned on the payments) are not taxable.

For more details, see Pub. 525.
