How to e file 8332 form?

[StaceyC · Accepted solution]

The Form 8332 is handled separately from the e-file.  It cannot be electronically transmitted or attached to an e-filed return.  The non-custodial parent must mail it, along with an IRS Transmittal Form.  (The tax return can still be e-filed, just not the Form 8332.) 

The Form 8332 can be found here: Form 8332   The custodial parent will print and sign the form, then deliver it to the non-custodial parent who will then send it to the IRS along with the Transmittal Form. 

The transmittal form can be found here: Transmittal Form for E-Filed Returns

The non-custodial parent will mail the transmittal form along with the signed Form 8332 within 3 business days after acknowledgement that the IRS has accepted the e-filed tax return. 

Mail Form 8453 and 8332 to:

Internal Revenue Service

Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254

Receipt and Control Branch

Austin, TX 73344-0254

Hope this helps,

I e-filed today (last day) and should I still not mail the forms in until my e-file turns from pending to accepted?  I was thinking the forms should be post marked by today

My ex husband and I have joint custody of our 17 yo.  We both have him equal amount of time though out the year.  How can we both claim him 6 months each.

That isn't allowed.

The IRS Website says for different states to send to different addresses. Neither of them are the one listed on this site: for example here's one

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Ogden, UT  84201

Which is the correct address?
