Hopefully this is my final question on the subject, but based on the scenario discussed above, and how I answered the questions in TT, it has carried the dependent status of my child over to my state return (Oregon). In other words, it is not listing my child as the dependent on my return or giving me the state exemption for a dependent, which is $210. That’s fine but I just want to make sure my ex is able to take that $210 state exemption. Is the state even going to know, or care, that I signed federal form 8332? Or if he takes the exemption, will the state look at his return and say “you filed as Single, so you can’t also claim an exemption”?
