If she lived with you more than half the year, then you should enter her on your tax return because she may qualify you for some benefits such as earned income credit and child and dependent care credit. If your ex is claiming her as a dependent, then he will get the child tax credit. You should not enter her at all on your tax return if she did not live with you more than half the nights during the year.
