Deductions & credits
Do not change your return and do not remove your child. As long as this is your child and you meet the requirements for claiming your child as a dependent, you should file as normal but will have to mail the return as indicated by DoninGA.
A person who tries to claim a child and is not the custodial parent is not allowed unless you have signed a Form 8332 allowing the non-custodial parent to claim the child.
