what do i do now.
If you are not the custodial parent, you can't claim a dependent without form 8332. But, what did you tell Turbotax when you entered the dependent's information? Did you say they lived with you all year, or more than half the year? (Which would be incorrect.). Or did you say they lived with you less than half the year, and the other parent gave you a signed form 8332?
If you answered they lived with you more than half the year, then you bypassed the custody issue. You may also have claimed some incorrect tax benefits. You may need to prepare and file an amended return by changing your answers to the custody questions.
When you download or print your tax return, or download "All forms and worksheets", the first page is instructions and it should tell you that you need to mail form 8332 and form 8453 to the IRS, and the package should contain a copy of form 8453. Turbotax won't print a copy of form 8332 for you, since that needs to be signed and given to you by the other parent. You can print a copy here.
