@Rdabney35 If you are filing a joint return what is the confusion regarding claiming the child? That makes no sense. When you file a joint return, you file ONE tax return as a married couple and all of your income, all of your dependents and all of your information goes on that one return. There is no one parent claiming a child and the other one not claiming the child if you file jointly. You claim the child together on the joint return.
If you and your spouse were confused about how to file a joint return----that is the bigger issue that needs to be sorted out.
Please explain exactly what you and your spouse did so we can help you sort it out and file correctly.
