Deductions & credits

@justin94067 would you mind explaining why you are filing SEPARATE?  96% of married couples file JOINT for a good reason:  Congress motivates that behavior.  

 

Unless this relates to the lower earning spouse being on a student loan repayment plan, i have NEVER seen a situation where this makes sense financially, even if one of you owes back taxes or back child support.  

 

otherwise, go back to MyInfo - did you indicate your spouse could be a dependent of another?  you had to list her name and SSN in any event  - maybe a box in Myinfo is incorrect?  check the childv in MyInfo, maybe you set up this relationship incorrectly?
