Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This is common error is when unmarried parents live together,  If you and the other parent live together, only one of you can claim the child for any tax benefit. The TurboTax interview is confusing (it's designed for divorced parents, who are allowed to split the child). The second parent should not enter the child, at all. The "non dependent" classification is only for divorced or separated parents. not those that live together.
