So if I had them for 65% of the nights in 2021 and she had them for 70%, she should claim HOH and 100% of the childcare spending? I was confused because the wording in TurboTax and tax code states "more than 50%" and not "more than the other parent". Because I had them for 7 months, the TurboTax software allows me to claim HOH but I'm not looking to get audited and penalized. It sounds like I will also need a signed form 8332 to claim both dependents if she qualifies as custodial and I don't.
