Quick answer

Form 8332 is the IRS form a custodial parent signs to release the claim to a child's tax exemption (and the child tax credit) to the noncustodial parent for one year, several years or all future years. The noncustodial parent then attaches it to their return to claim the child. With JustFill you upload the blank IRS 8332 PDF, the AI maps each field, and you type the child's name, the years and the parent details before downloading it free.

What is Form 8332?

Form 8332 lets the custodial parent — the parent the child lived with for most of the year — give up, or later revoke, the right to claim the child as a dependent so the noncustodial parent can. Part I releases the claim for the current year, Part II for future years, and Part III revokes a prior release. The noncustodial parent attaches the signed form to each tax return on which they claim the child. Because it affects who gets the child-related tax benefits, the years and signatures must be precise. JustFill lets you complete the 8332 online so the child's name, the years and the signature line are clearly filled before it is shared.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Releasing "all future years" without realizing it must be revoked separately later to take the child back.
