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