Hello and thanks for the reply.  A few follow up questions if OK?

  1. Can you clarify what "mail it to the IRS along with the transmittal Form 8453 within 3 business days."  means exactly?  Does this mean within 3 days of filing my 2022 return?  Meaning, if I e-file my 2022 return on April 15th I should send form 8453 and 8332 by mail no later than April 18th for example?  
  2. Please clarify the advice "The non-custodial parent must have signed the form " as Form 8332 does NOT have a signature line for the non-custodial parent, there is only a signature line for the custodial.  My ex spouse signed two Form 8332s (one for each of my two dependents) granting me permission to claim the exemptions as the non-custodial parent as part of our divorce agreement.  Can you please clarify/advise on the non-custodial signature requirement as I do not see that option on the form.

Thank you very much!
