Deductions & credits
Yes if your divorce was after 2009 and you’re the parent not claiming the child, you’ll need to fill out Form 8332, sign it, and give it to the other spouse so he or she can file it with their taxes.
After question 4 did you click continue to get to question 5?
For additional information:
Form 8332 is a Release of Claim to Exemption for Child of Divorced or Separated Parents, stating that you will not claim this child as a dependent. You can designate the length of this agreement when you complete the form.
If your divorce was finalized before 2009, you can also draw up your own waiver as long as it includes the same information as the Form 8332 and is signed by the custodial parent.
