My fiance is claiming our child, so i am not sure if i still have to put them on my tax return. Or would i put i do not have any dependents?

You would not enter your child on your tax return.  You would indicate you have no dependents.

Only one person can claim a dependent (except for certain exceptions for divorced or separated parents).

But turbo tax asks you have a child and then afterwards if your claiming the child or have a deal with the other parent to where they will, which I said they would and it said to still leave the info but that I wasn’t claiming him.... I’m confused

I am confused by this as well, did you ever figure it out by chance?
