Ok. One more question ..when replying NO about the signed agreement in the software about the 8332 NC form, will it have any negative effect or cause a delay at all when I file my taxes? I didnt know if it would raise any red flags being I've never filed him on my taxes. They will see that his father filed for all these years.

@liquelique85 And just to add to the information already provided here, if you and the other parent do not have any sort of court ordered agreement or a signed 8332 with the IRS, you do not need the other parent's "permission" to claim the child who lives with you.    The other parent does not have the power to "let" you claim child for whom YOU are the custodial parent.   In fact, if you were the custodial parent for 2022, 2023, or 2024 and did not enter the child on your tax return, you could amend your returns for those years and claim your child.

No, if he is not a dependent on your tax return, you don't include his income as part of the calculation for the Premium Tax Credit for Marketplace health insurance.   Because he was on your 1095-A for five month, both you and he will need to fill out the "allocation" information.  That will 'split' those amounts between your tax return and his tax return.  If Advance credit was received (column C of the 1095-A), you can allocate using any percentage (all three amounts need to be the same though).  It is usually most beneficial to allocate 100% to one tax return and 0% to the other.  Allocating 100% to the tax return that has the lowest number on Line 5 of Form 8962 will result in the best OVERALL credit.

Did you update your software? Exit out of the app and re-open it to prompt an update screen, or select Online > Check for Updates on the top left tool bar.
