Do I need to fill out a 8332 from my daughter lives with me and not her father

Do I need to fill out a 8332 from my daughter lives with me and not her father

Are you releasing the child's personal exemption to the father for 2017?  If not, then the Form 8332 is not needed.

As you are the custodial parent ( whom the child lives with mostly), if you are letting the other parent claim your daughter on his return, you will need to file a Form 8332.  If you are claiming your daughter on your return, no Form 8332 is required.  If you are letting the other parent claim, as you spent the most time with the child during the year, you will be entitled to claim Head of Household, Earned Income Credit and Dependent Care Credit and the non-custodial parent will claim the dependent exemption and Child Tax Credit.
