First tax season after divorce

Hi! I plan to file as head of household. My ex and I already agreed to each claim 1 of our 2 children on our taxes. I have sole physical custody of the kids so I need to fill out a form to give to him to let him claim our oldest child. What form is that? Also, since this is our first year divorced, I’ve already received some tax forms with both of our names. How do I handle these forms? I’ve used turbo tax in the past but will it guide me through everything I need to consider in this new situation I’m in? Thank you!

TurboTax will do its best to keep up with you but pay close attention to the questions.

 

We recommend trashing the joint TurboTax account that you used and starting a new one.

 

Whichever one of you the tax forms apply to should enter them on their return.

 

The form to release claim is the 8332. It's available here.
