I filed a 8332 for 2025 to allow my son's mom to claim him for the CTC.
I didn't do this in 2024, and I'm revisiting my 2024 returns and saw that I didn't really benefit from the CYC. I know you can amend tax returns within 3 years IIRC, but are there any specific limitations for form 8332s?
If not, then I think the process is to send my son's mom a form 8332 for 2024, and we'll then both amend our 2024 federal tax returns? and in addition, I will have to modify my 2024 state tax returns as I will lose the exemption. it seems pretty messy…
Can you submit a 8332 for a prior year (2024 in my case)?

It should be fine but I could see a situation where her return gets looked at before yours and it causes some confusion.
I believe you can do that, yep.
