Just realized I can refer to a valid dependent as "other." Will there be a problem if I change it from a relative status to other? Both ways it's still a valid dependent.

I used a tax service when I first claimed the dependent and the second year the same until she ripped me off. I then started filing my taxes myself. She never told me that "other" was an option, otherwise I would have used it back then until now. I would really like to changed this, but I'm terrified in doing so, may cause me problems. Being laid off at this time, money is tight and I don't need any other issues over my head at this time. I hope someone can help me with this right now. I'm in the mist of filing my taxes as we speak.
