My fiance claimed our daughter, what information do I need to provide the IRS? I am not trying to claim her since she already has been claimed.

My fiance claimed our daughter as her dependent, which was agreed upon by the both of us. Do I have to input her information as well or should I file my taxes as i would if i didnt have her? 

[Texas Roger · Accepted solution]

If you and your fiance live together and your fiance is claiming your daughter, you leave her off your tax return entirely.

[steven-fajardo]

Thank you very much!

Your fiance cannot claim your daughter if you are filing a tax return.

Reason: she is the qualifying child of another taxpayer (you).

See IRS Pub 501 Table 5.

[Texas Roger]

It says her finance claimed OUR daughter. It was my assumption that they are both the parents of the daughter so she could be the qualifying child of either of them.

[steven-fajardo]

Yes we are both the parents of our daughter so she qualifies to claim her on her own taxes, it was our agreement that she would claim her

[fanfare]

OK. I missed that key word.
