      My ex and I had an agreement that he would always claim one child and I would claim the other. Sadly, he passed of Covid this past year. Am I eligible to now claim both children?

              “agreement”

              if the child resided with you majority of the year, yes .. regardless of whatever agreement you guys had.

              If the child resided with your ex for 6mo+, you may need to ask a tax professional .. because his family will still fill out a tax return for him.

                Did the other child live with you all year? If so then yes you get to claim them.
