Has TurboTax changed the settings requiring the parent with the higher income to claim the DTC?
For the past few years, I've always used TurboTax for filing our income taxes; however, 2025 was the first year my husband had the higher income. In the past, TurboTax has required the parent with the higher income to claim the DTC. I cannot do this as the DTC was filed in MY name. I do not want to change the name on the DTC to my husband's name. Is there a way to override this in TurboTax so that I can continue claiming it on my taxes? Otherwise, I need to switch to another platform for filing.
