I can check any of the 4 options presented, always kicks it back needing review.  How am I supposed to get past this?

If you are Filing as Head of Household and you are the Custodial Parent, but you are agreeing to the let the other parent claim the child as their Dependent, you would still be eligible to claim the Earned Income Credit (EIC) and the non-custodial parent would be eligible for the Child Tax Credit. 

 

If this is the case, check the box for 'EIC or Dependent Care Credit Only'.

You can try Deleting/Re-Entering your Dependent in the MY INFO section.
