Hi:
I tried to file my 2022 tax and then got the following rejection message:
"F2441-526 - Form 2441, Child Care Expenses, Part II, Line 2(b), each 'Qualifying Person SSN' provided must not be the same as a 'Qualifying Person SSN' in Part II, Line 2 of Form 2441 in another accepted tax return for the same tax year."
As far as I understand, somebody claimed my child as a "qualifying person" on her form 2441 in her tax return.
My situation is that, I'm divorced with a child with shared custody, and my ex-wife and I agreed that I claim my kid in even years while she claim him in odd years, so for 2022 tax, she should not have claimed the kid but she already did, before me.
I talked with her and we agreed to fix it together. Should she simply remove her form 2441 and amend her return?
I think she also had a filing status of "Head of Household" , using the child as the qualifying person, but she did NOT claim the kid as her dependent. Is that also a problem that prevents me from claiming the kid?
Much appreciated!
