When she prepared her taxes through TurboTax, the boxes were checked stating that she “had an agreement with the children’s other parent” and that “the children’s other parent would be claiming them”. And it was listed that she was only receiving EIC but not a dependent or child tax credit. Why is that preventing the children from being claimed on my return now? That is the way we have filed every year. There is no reason that my return should be rejected by the IRS if she opted out of claiming the children on her return. Correct?
