Deductions & credits

@Hal_Al 

I appreciate the response.  The TurboTax software always assigns the 2 dependents to the highest income earner, I can’t find a work around using TurboTax.

 

The 3 questions they always ask in the interview walkthrough are:

  • You lived apart from your spouse during the last 6 months of the year
  • Your home was the qualifying person's main home for more than half of the year
  • You paid for more than half of the cost of keeping up that home for the year

Then TurboTax assigns the dependents to the highest earner. I guess I will continue to try to find a way around this in the software.
