We are an unmarried couple with a child filing separate taxes.
The TurboTax system is letting us both add our child to our taxes, which I thought only one of us can claim. It has the child listed as my dependent and "Nondependent - for EIC/dependent care only" for my partner.
We all live in the same household, I'm filing Head of Household while my partner is filing Single.
Only one of you should enter your child. The other should not enter the child AT ALL.
The scenario where one person claims the child as a dependent and the other claims for EIC is for parents who do NOT live together. When unmarried couples live together, TurboTax does not properly direct you how to enter things.
In order for you to claim Head of Household, YOU must claim the dependent. If the other parent claims the child, you can NOT claim Head of Household (you would file as "Single").
