Not allowing me to take dependent care credit since im not claiming child
No text available
If you are the custodial parent, not claiming your child as a dependent, you can claim Earned Income Credit (EIC), and Child
Care Credits and possible Head of Household status. They can only be claimed by the custodial parent (in the home where the
child actually lived.) It is not
uncommon for the custodial parent (the one the child spends more than half
the year with) to claim Head of Household and potential credits (EIC, Child
Care) while the non-custodial parent claims the dependency exemption.
Go to the Personal Info part of the program. When on the Personal Info Summary (see the screenshot below), you'll be able to edit or add a dependent from there. Answer all questions
Be sure to indicate that she lived with you at least 7 months ("I have her most of the time" rounds to 7 months). You will reach a screen where you indicate you are letting the other parent claim the child, as a dependent, this year.
This assumes that the other parent acknowledges that you are the custodial parent.
