@Jocelyn5 You don't have to provide proof that a dependent lived with you when you file your return.
If you are the Custodial Parent, and the other parent has already Efiled, you will need to mail in your return and claim your child, and any credits associated with your dependent.
You both will get your Refunds; however, eventually the IRS will ask both parents to prove who the child lived with, and the one claiming wrongly will have to pay back whatever refund amount they received by claiming the dependent.
