Deductions & credits

As parents we're not separated, we're just not married.  We file our taxes separately.  Its the other parent's turn to claim the child.  We don't have a form 8332 release form.  The other parent is across the table from me right now and we're doing great as a cohabitant.   So do I set my allocation of days at my house to zero even though the child and other parent is in my house?


Under this situation, you can't use the special rules for children of divorced or separated parents.  One parent claims all the tax benefits of the child, and the other parent claims nothing.  You simply need to delete the child entirely.
