Usually, income tax issues are included in marital settlement agreements. Of course,
both spouses cannot claim both dependents. In the absence of an MSA provision, it is
advisable to agree in writing on such tax issues to avoid subsequent IRS problems. There
is an IRS form to agree to such deductions.
