I filed my 2018 return. It came back rejected due to my ex claiming our 1 child when according to our divorce agreement, I am to claim her in even-numbered years. I found this on TurboTax:
The Form 8332 is handled separately from the e-file. It cannot be electronically transmitted or attached to an e-filed return. The non-custodial parent must mail it, along with an IRS Transmittal Form. (The tax return can still be e-filed, just not the Form 8332.) The custodial parent will print and sign the form, then deliver it to the non-custodial parent who will then send it to the IRS along with the Transmittal Form. The non-custodial parent will mail the transmittal form along with the signed Form 8332 within 3 business days after acknowledgement that the IRS has accepted the e-filed tax return.
My questions are: Do I go back and change my return so my daughter is not a dependent and e-file? Then submit the 8332 and the Transmittal forms by mail? Or do I not e-file and mail the tax return, the 8332, and the Transmittal form instead? Which one should I do?
