Need Confirmation

[David1980]

Do you have a cite that "prohibits" it? I don't mean to be "sticky" but you never know with parents, what is going to happen in the future and this gives dad the proof he needs when he needs it. Or how about if they are sharing the residence and that's all! A woman scorned.
I would give the credits to the person that takes the dependent.

What's the point? There's no divorced or separated parents. There's no custodial vs. non-custodial parent. Best case scenario they ignore it when you file the return because it's not necessary. Worst case, they assume the couple are separated and that whoever is sending in the form is a non-custodial parent and disallow EIC/HOH/2441.

You want a cite that "prohibits" this? Ah,, no, I don't have a cite, it's just a waste of time, and I would certainly hope you wouldn't be charging for the preparation of the form that is, boy, I'm not sure what to say it is.....seriously, I can't believe I'm having this discussion, you can have the last word.
