No, the IRS and TurboTax do not support attachments. Instead, if you are claiming a dependent using form 8332, TurboTax will prompt you to print a cover page when you e-file. You will mail the cover page and the original signed form 8332 to the IRS within three days of e-filing. Keep a copy of form 8332 for your records.

Never was directed to Form 8332 to sign. I am on ssi and i let my niece's aunt claim her on her taxes. She made more of course and she lived with her most night's weekends summer and holidays. Being over 183 night's as it says. She passed on sher taxes questioners. The aunt's taxes where approved, then needed to verify who she was, then nothing til she got the audit paperwork! Can form 8332 help giving her the right to claim her niece? And what happens if we don't have any proof that she lived there? Being my address was on all her stuff not the aunts. Need help to fiqure this out never been audited before ever. Thank you

The form 8332 will not be helpful at this point. Here are the tests that need to passed in order for the aunt to claim the child. Here is the Publication that is applicable. Once in the publication on the left side scroll down to "Qualifying Relative" and click on "Age" to get you to the right area.

Qualifying Relative

Four tests must be met for a person to be your qualifying relative. The four tests are:

The person can't be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer.
The person either (a) must be related to you in one of the ways listed under Relatives who don't have to live with you , or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household (and your relationship must not violate local law).
The person's gross income for the year must be less than $4,200.
You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
