Okay, so in relation to this part: Only the Custodial parent can claim: (Child would be listed as non-dependent EIC & CC only)
-Head of Household
-Earned Income Credit
-Child Care Credit
How/where exactly, in the Turbo Tax software itself, would I list the child as a "non-dependent" - for EIC & CC Only?? I saw in the first comment there was something about using either line 6c or line 4, to list my son, but I dont have the actual Line options in the Turbo Tax software, it just asks general questions to help the software know what to input....??
And it appears that in the software, if I remove my son as the dependent, it forces me to take the "single" status and not Head of Household. So am I to assume that I do NOT remove my son from the list of dependents?
I guess what I'm really wanting to know is, what should I actually input into Turbo Tax? It seems like if I include my son under "Dependents", then my Ex can't also do that or it will get flagged by the IRS. And if I DONT include my son under "dependents," then it changes my filing status.
Or do we both claim him as a dependent, but as long as we're including the Form 8332, its' fine?
