Noncustodial parent:
If the custodial parent is releasing their claim to the exemption, per the form instructions, they don't file the Form 8332—the noncustodial parent who will claim the exemption does. If the custodial parent doesn't wish to file the Form 8453, there are two options:
Option 1
- Prepare the Form 8332 on the custodial parent's return.
- Print, sign, and distribute to noncustodial parent.
- Delete the data entered in Screen 70, Release of Claim to Exemption (8332) to prevent the Form 8453 from generating.
Option 2
- Prepare the Form 8332 on the noncustodial parent's return. Make entries in these fields:
- Other parent name
- Other parent SSN
