Married Filing Separate

Summit1
Level 5

New client is married. His tax is return is under extension. His wife has already filed her return and received her refund. They had a child in 2021 and the wife claimed the child on her return. Due to income levels, neither qualified for Child Tax Credits or Advanced Child Tax Credits. Also, neither received Stimulus.

When filing the husband's return I know to put the wife's information to confirm the MFS status. Do I need to include the child's dependent information on the husband's return?

If wife has child on her MFS return, then you would not put on Husband's MFS return.
