I am working on mine and my wife's taxes for 2019 and we are choosing married filing separately this year in order to keep student loan payments under the PAYE program as low as possible. Our financial adviser laid out this plan which took in to account the fact that out tax burden will be larger when filing separately. We are married, living together, and have a child who was born in 2018. We are not separated or divorced. TurboTax will not let either of us claim our child as a dependent based on our answers to the questions it has asked. Most of the questions seem to apply to people who are separated. For example it asks if our child spend most nights with me, my wife, or 50/50. The answer is none of the above, we all live together. How do i get turbo tax to let one of us claim our child as a dependent?
