Filing as Head of Household
I have adult children living in my household and I have recently paid the mortgage off in full. I maintain the home paying all the utilities, food, transportation, and other bills. Can I file as head of household without a dependent?
My daughters are 23, 23, and 34 and my son is 31. One of my daughters, 23 has a son, my grandson for which she is claiming as her dependent. But when I input that I will not claim him as my dependent Turbo Tax software does not understand that I do not wish to claim my grandson for the Child Tax Credit and EIC to allow my daughter to claim her son as her dependent since she paid out support for child care expenses.
Can I claim HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD without a dependent? How do I get Turbo Tax to understand that I would like to claim Head of Household without claiming a dependent?
