Kea Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Client's ex-wife & daughter live in Pakistan. Daughter is US citizen and has SSN. Mom filled out 8332 releasing exemption. Line for Mom's SSN is "N/A." ATX is not giving me any errors (blue or red). Can this be filed successfully (e-file or paper)? I didn't see anything in the instructions that said that the custodial parent had to have an SSN or ITIN. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Make sure that your client has the right to claim child as dependent and file normally. Form 8332 is needed by the non-custodian parent only when both parents claim the same child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I thought the form had to get filed with the return & the paper one sent in with an 8453. Custodial parent lives in Pakistan and does not file US taxes, so she won't be claiming child (here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Efile him with the dependent marked as based on 8332, and then attach a copy of it to the 8453 and mail that in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
