Sorry again for the confusion.
The reason why I replied to the message was to show the missing screenshot and show the questions that followed each screen after answering the interview questions in my previous message.
My original question for this thread was how to answer the following questions:
- Has the other parent waived their legal right to you so you can claim her as a dependent on your return this year?
- Do I need to fill out a Form 8332?
In the thread I believe question number 2 was answered, I don't need to fill out a Form 8332 because the form is for custodial divorced or separated parent who relinquishes the tax benefit for the dependent to a noncustodial parent. We are not married and live together with both daughters.
Question number 1 in the screenshots I provided if I answer no, it appears that my partner is unable to get the child tax credit of $2,000 but if I answer yes, then she gets the tax credit.
Is my partner able to get the tax credit of $2,000 if she files single and uses one of our daughters as dependent?
I am not adding the same daughter to my tax returns as a dependent, which I am filing head of household.
If she is able to get the tax credit then I believe I need to answer Yes to my original question, has the other parent waived their right to you so you can claim her as a dependent or should I answer the questions differently?
