Right to Claim as a Dependent-Has the other parent waived their legal right to you so you can claim her as a dependent on your return this year?
My partner and I are not married. We have two children. I am filing head of household and my partner is filing single. We are claiming one child each on our tax returns. Since I received the highest income, Turbo Tax Deluxe Editon software is asking if I waived my legal right so that my partner can claim my daughter as a dependent on her tax forms. We live together in the same home. We have a verbal agreement that we will claim one child each but have not filled out a Form 8332. How should I answer the question above and do we need to fill out Form 8332?
