Ok so, the non custodial parent is not supposed to ever claim the child unless the divorce decree is pre 2009? Yet, this says to check that yes someone else is claiming them. I am so confused. My ex just claimed our son and now I have to paper file. I had an issue paper filing as year and my taxes were lost by them and I never have gotten it fixed.
I would almost rather lose the credit for the dependent than risk this mess again, but I also don't want to commit fraud and allow my ex husband to commit fraud either. TurboTax has not been helpful. Next year I will file with someone else, but I've already paid $117 to TurboTax and they should be helping me.
