First, it is important to realize that you cannot split the exemption for any children between the parents. However, it is possible for both parents to file a joint return if they qualify and then split the amount that is refunded or reduced could be split between the spouses. If separate returns are filed then it is very important to realize that it is not possible to split or divide the exemption in any form.
