How do I add a dependent the other parent claimed even though I have an agreement stating I get this year and he does not have her half the time

To add a dependent you will go to the personal info scroll down below your name and click add a dependent.

 

If he already claimed her as a dependent on your return you will need to print and mail your return.  If you try to e-file, your return will be rejected for duplicate use of a dependent.  When you print and mail your return, the IRS will use the Tie Breaker Rules to determine the parent that gets to claim her.  

 

If she lived with you for more than 6 months out of the year, you will likely be the one that gets to claim her and she will be removed from his return.
