I was divorced in 2008 and have 2 kids. Per the decree, we each claim 1 kid. In 2013, I gave her an 8332 “for all future years” allowing her to claim both because I was over the income limit for child tax credit, so for formality sake, I let her claim my 1 kid (now she gets both) so at least someone gets the child tax credit. Now, I wish to “revoke” giving my kid away for my own deduction purposes. As this is a pre-2009 decree, it seems to be able to take the place of the 8332. Wondering if the decree will allow me to do that THIS year instead of waiting till the next-next year as the 8332 revocation rule states.
