Re: Joint Custody & W2's
You are describing a scenario with which I am not familiar. One parent always has primary residential custody whenever any matter is resolved in court. If there have been no court proceedings then the exemption goes to the parent with whom the child spends more time. If the two of you are still married a joint return should be filed after an agreement is worked out in writing setting forth how any anticipated refund is to be distributed.
I sense that there is a unique situation which you should describe to me in a telephone conversation so that I may give the appropriate answer to your question.
