Form 8332 question and error

My wife and I are married filing separately. We live together and with our daughter for the whole year. She is going to claim our daughter. 

Do we need form 8332? Turbo Tax is asking me to file one, but I should not need it. 

 

So if I do not need it how do I get rid of this question and error. Do I need to even add my daughter to my taxes?

 

Thank you.

    You don’t need 8332 and you can leave your daughter’s information off of your return.

    Thank you so much. 

    Just a follow up and to be clear. 

    My wife enters my daughter on her return.

    Our Daughter does not have to show up at all on my return? Basically it looks like I do not have any dependents?

    Correct.
