Can I file head of household although my ex-husband will claim our son as dependent this year?
Per divorce agreement, the other parent and I alternate claiming our son as dependent. This year, it is his turn to claim him as his dependent.
However, TurboTax states I can file as head of household anyway. I am confused because 2 years ago when the situation was the same, I used an agency to help me prepare my tax return, and reviewing it, I realize that I filed as single.
Now I am hesitant to file my completed return because I am afraid that perhaps I have to file single again because I am not claiming my son as dependent.
