I am claiming my son but not my daughter, I am claiming my daughter's daycare expense.  I don't want to mess up so her father can not claim her.    Clear as mud?

    First your awesome, second I'm doing my daughters taxes...that being said.

     

    She split but had both children 100%. She is claiming her son but her ex will claim the daughter. She wants to claim daycare expense for the daughter so I dont want to mess it up so he can't claim her.  Make sense?

    Think I found a box where it states other parent will claim but I get to claim daycare.


    Thanks!!
