On the page of registering Children, I have successfully registered my children. The message was: Good News! xxx Qualified you for a tax break. It is however, on the "You Children and others you support", it displays my children's names, yet on status are "nondependent". And on the Your Personal Info Summary page, my children status are "Not a dependent this year". Please let me know the reason.

Do you have an agreement with Megan's other parent about who can claim her?

Is Megan's other parent claiming Megan per your legal agreement?

Are you letting Megan's other parent claim Megan for 2020?
