    Form 8332

    billo
    Level 1

    I am efiling a return where the custodial parent has released the exemption for a child to the non custodial parent. Does the form 8332 need to be manually signed or will it be sufficient to file electronically without a manual signature and use the 8879 as authority?

    the 8332 goes with the non custodial parents return (your client signs it and gives it to them), not the custodial. You have nothing to attach.
