Hello,
I'm 33y and I was married till November 2024 when I got divorced, my widowed mother recently became a permanent resident and relocated from home country (Lebanon) to the U.S in September of 2024 and started living with me.
I had no children from my marriage and I used to support my mom overseas since she does not work ( I was sending her monthly payments via MoneyGram) and now she has been living with me since September 10th 2024 and I support her 100%, she does not have any income. Obviously, I pay all the expenses of the home where we live.
For the tax year 2024 when I file my taxes, can I claim head of household and use my mother as a dependent?
I am afraid since she only lived in the U.S for 3 months only in 2024 this might be an issue even though I was 100% supporting all her expenses whether she's living here or abroad.
Thank you for your help.
