We agree but the TurboTax software won’t let us do it. They always assign the 2 dependents to the highest income earner, I can’t find a work around using TurboTax.
I suspect you are getting hung up on the custody questions. The dependent interview is designed for situations involving divorced or separated parents who share custody. It has problems with married people filing separately for financial reasons or with unmarried parents living together.
Each spouse should only list the child they plan to claim. Answer "no" to any questions about custody or the other parent. Completely delete the child you don't plan to claim.
