How do I file if I have a child but not claiming her this year because her dad is?

[MichaelL1 · Accepted solution]

You can list the child in the Personal Information section and there will be a question if some one else is claiming the child and answer "yes" to that question. 

It is better to have the child listed as there might be some tax benefits without actually having the child as a dependent.
