You should still leave your child's
information in your return and Turbo Tax will ask questions to not claim the
exemption but still ask information about other credits and deductions which
may apply. Please check all boxes which apply, such as how many months in
2016 did the child live with you. When you see the question, "Do you
have an agreement with the other parent about who can claim him?", select
Yes and Yes, the other parent will claim for 2016 per our legal
agreement.
You may still qualify for the Earned Income
Credit,
even if your qualifying dependent is claimed as an exemption on another return.
