If you will not be eligible for the credit, and you can call and cancel the credit, that would be the best thing to do.

 

You cannot claim the MN Child Tax Credit if  your filing status is married filing separately and you live with your spouse.

Also, did both of you claim HOH?  If so, in order to claim HOH, you must pay MORE than half of the cost of maintaining a home for you and your dependents.  IF you are sharing children and living together, it is not likely that BOTH of you paid MORE than half of the cost of maintaining the home.  If you both claimed head of household and did NOT BOTH pay MORE than one  half of the cost of maintaining a home, one of you may need to amend your previous years return.
