Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you selected "NO" you answered "No, the other parent will NOT claim the child" so the program would have you claim the child.

(please see screenshot below)

If your return was accepted by the IRS, and you are not claiming the child for tax year 2020, the only option you have is to wait until your return has processed and then file an amended return. Chances are you will need to pay back a portion of your refund.

The other parent will not be able to claim the child and e-file this season. The other parent must print and mail their return to claim the child.
