Yes. I did already discover that, and she was not claimed on my return. On her return it asks for a Custodial Parent because she is under the age of 24. Do I qualify as a Custodial Parent even though I have no legal guardianship?
Why is she filing a tax return? Did she earn income and have taxes withheld on a W-2 so that she will be receiving a tax refund? Or did she have self-employment income of $400 or more?
No, you are not the Custodial Parent. The custodial parent is who the child lived with for over one-half of the year.
