Has the Custodial parent signed it?

If you are filing your return electronically, you must file Form 8332 with Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return. If you are filing your tax return using an online provider, mail Form 8453 to the IRS within 3 business days after you have received acknowledgement from your intermediate service provider and/or transmitter that the IRS has accepted your electronically filed tax return.

Mail Form 8453 to:

Internal Revenue Service Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254 Receipt and Control Branch Austin, TX 73344-0254

Form 8332 is generally attached to the claimant's tax return.

To complete Form 8332 in Turbo Tax, type revocation of release of claim to exemption for child of divorced or separated parents in the search box and choose Jump To.

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the return.

Thanks!

1. Will Turbotax then adjust to include the Child Tax Credit?

I am only getting the 'Other Dependent Tax Credit' now which is $3500 when I believe I should be getting the CTC for 7 children. They did not live with me for 6 months out of the year, but my wife will fill out the 8332 form..

Thanks,

Will I still receive my refund quick or will it take longer

@dmageo Under normal circumstances for tax returns that are printed and mailed in, the IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site. Once your return has been accepted by the IRS, it normally takes about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review.

Maybe. Per the IRS: "The noncustodial parent may not claim a child as a qualifying child for the earned income credit based solely on the custodial parent's release of a claim to exemption for the child as their dependent.

The custodial parent may still be able to claim the child as a qualifying child for the earned income credit if the residency test and all the other requirements are met."

To qualify for the EITC, a qualifying child must:
