If you are entitled to take a dependency exemption because of a divorce, separation or other legal agreement and your dependent did not live with you for more than 6 months, you must obtain a signed Form 8332 from the parent who the child lived with for more than 6 months in order to claim the CTC/ACTC or dependency exemption. We can prepare a Form 8332 if you want us to. Please contact the office.
