Well it was operator input, though idk if it was operator error. Mom (per court order) doesn't claim the kids as dependents.
I remarried this year and TT asked if the "legal parent" was me or both of us. I put me. That apparently kicked them out as dependents. I changed it to both of us and now TT is happy.
Is there some issue with a parent-stepparent married filing jointly not allowing dependents which are related to one partner?
