Yes, assuming the custodial parent signs Form 8332 allowing them to.

So, the question now is How do you claim that in ProSeries?

the CTC follows the child's "exemption" so the non custodial parent would need to claim the child as a dependent....the custodial parent would sign the 8332 allowing the non custodial parent to claim them.

Scan the signed 8332 and attach the pdf to the return.
