You will select a number of months less than 6 months since you are not the custodial parent. Later in the interview you will be asked about the agreement between you and the child's father concerning tax dependent claims. You will need to get a form 8332 signed by the custodial parent.
If you're e-filing your federal tax return, be sure to send in a signed copy of Form 8332 separately to the IRS along with Form 8453.
You can find Form 8453 in TurboTax once you sign back into your return after your return has been e-filed and accepted. You can also find Form 8453 at the IRS website.
You don't have to send in Form 8332 for your state return.
