Hello,

I have a divorced client with one 17 year old child. The child lives with her.  My client lets her ex-spouse claim the child as a dependent on his tax return every other year. For 2021, the ex-spouse will claim the child.  

My client can still claim head of household, since she is the custodial parent. My question is, what is the correct code to enter to enter for the child in the dependent section? I think it is "Q", then complete the section in the Head of Household filing status section. 

I called Proseries support. The support person said she couldn't answer the question because she is not a tax person and this is a tax question. So I asked to speak to a tax person and her response was "there is no one in the company that is tax person.
