Father (divorced) has custody of his 16 year old daughter for all of 2017. She has no income. He neither receives nor pays any type of support. He becomes common-law for tax purposes on September 1/17.
The system picks up the eligible dependant amount on his return UNTIL I change him in the system from divorced to common law on Sept 1.
The requirements say “at any time during the year”, do they not? Is this a TaxCycle glitch or am I glitching?
On the Dependant Information screen, under “Information about credits to claim”, there is a question that says “Eligible Dependant lived with”. See if you can select the client’s name there from the little drop down and whether that fixes it for you.
