Get your taxes done using TurboTax

According to the tiebreaker rules, the parent with the highest AGI is considered as the custodial parent.

 

A little side note, whoever claims the child as the custodial parent is always the custodial parent even during the years when the non-custodial parent can claim the child for the child tax credits. 

 

Hope that helps.
