Can a married couple with two children each claim one of the children for this credit?

I'm not sure whether this is a riddle or a trick question. From the way this conundrum is crafted it appears that a couple wants to claim only one of the children. That makes no economic sense to me. Or do we have here two couples each having one child?

Anyway, I give up.

With two children, hubby or wife could claim 2 kids @ $2,101 each for amount for children born in 1993 or later.

Instead, could hubby claim 1 @ $2,101 and wife claim 1 @ $2,101?

If we are talking about a single family unit, then no. Only one of the parents must make the claim for all of the offspring.
