Well the child lives with both of us 50/50. Typically even though both kids are back and forth equally, I always claim my child lives with me the whole year, and she does the same for the other child. We both file head of household, with 1 dependent living with us the whole year.
So in this case, what if I claim Child B, head of household, lives with me all year, and the child care credit. She could do the exact same for Child A.
Next year we simply revert to what the divorce decree states. does the IRS even care what the divorce paperwork states for claiming a child as long as each child is only being claimed once?
Thank you for the help!!!
