I am the custodial parent and have my daughter 95% of the time. Per our divorce decree, i allowed my ex to claim my daughter every other year (this is his year.) Because of this, I am not allowed to claim HOH? Or the earned Income credit? I filed my taxes first and went through the steps. Turbo allowed me to be HOH and get the Earned Income credit, without claiming my daughter but now my ex is upset because he is unable to claim her. Do I need to amend my taxes and not include her on there at all (therefor dropping my return significantly) so that he can claim her? Also, I have never given my ex a 8332 form. Is this a necessary step?
