Deductions & credits

Has his other parent waived their legal right to you so you can claim him as a dependent on your return this year (yes/no)?
I entered "No" - and Turbotax responded "It turns out he doesn't qualify as your dependent". What???

 

You must answer "yes" or you are telling TurboTax that you do not have the right to claim, the other parent does.

 

(Poor question wording in the online version - the desktop version asks the question a different way.)
