Bingo on the dependent status. It is not our year to claim the kids, so it defaults to us only being eligible for $2,800. Any ideas of how to work the software so I can get the money that I should be eligible for?
We received $4,200. We immediately gave $1,400 to the other parent - so the dependent portion was split evenly. My first thought was to just input that we got $1,400 so it will give us the $1,400 owed, but that is a bad idea since the government sent out that letter showing we got $4,200. What a pain for all separated parent situations.
I am using the online software.
