Deductions & credits

To claim a non-dependent, say No, I don’t have an agreement on the screen Do you have an agreement with the other parent about who can claim him/her? Do this even if you have an agreement.

 

Tell TurboTax the child spent the most nights in 2020 in your home.

 

Then select Yes, I’m letting the other parent claim him/her for 2020.

 

TurboTax will say It turns out your child doesn’t count as your dependent and the child’s status will be Nondependent on the dependent’s screen.
