I am divorced. My son spent 50% of the year living with me. I earn more so according to TurboTax help I am the custodial parent. Per our divorce agreement, mum is claiming son as dependent. Again according to TurboTax help I should still be able to claim dependent care expenses, but it wont let me. TurboTax help says "Custodial Parent of Child - The custodial parent who doesn't claim a tax exemption for a child can claim the dependent care credit if that parent meets all the following conditions: 1. You are the custodial parent 2.The child was under the age of 13 3. The noncustodial parent is entitled to claim the child as a tax dependent".
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
