Dependent and amended returns
Hello,
I initially filed my 2023 taxes, and claimed my child as my dependent.
Then, due to a dispute with the other parent, I amended my returns, and unclaimed that dependent.
Since then, the other parent agrees that I should be the one claiming our child in odd years.
If I understand correctly, I am allowed to file yet another amended return, to claim this child as my dependent.
My questions are: 1) do I need provide something in writing two verify my claim?
2) typically, how difficult is this to accomplish?
3) if no one else is allowed to claim the child, do I enter that they have resided with me for the entire year? * there is a current court order outlining which parent is allowed to claim the child, in alternating years.
TIA!
