Question

It's my year to claim my daughter but I've decided to let the custodial parent claim her instead, how do I do that?

There is a feature in TurboTax that allows you to alternate years that you claim your daughter.

You will go into 

  1. PERSONAL INFO on the main menu
  2. Select Dependents
  3. Select your child [EDIT]
  4. Go through questions to
  5. Do you have a Custody Agreement  Yes
  6. Is (Daughter's Name) Other Parent Claiming her this Year  Yes

Continue to the end.  This will properly do what you requested.
