Please follow these steps to make your child a nondependent to maybe qualify to get Earned Income Credit (EIC) and/or Child Care Credit with a divorce agreement:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click "My Info" from the left side of your screen
- Click “Edit” next to your dependent's name
- Continue until "Do you have an agreement with X's other parent about who can claim him/her?" answer "yes" and click "Continue"
- To the question "Is child's other parent claiming child per your legal agreement?" answer "yes"
Please be aware that you can only claim the Child and Dependent Care credit for dependents that lived with you (you are the custodial parent). Please see Who is a Qualifying Person for the Child and Dependent Care Credit? for additional information.
