I need to know, if I can claim my mom as a dependent even if she is still married with my dad, and I know he will not claim her. Also, since she is listed as owing the IRS, would this affect me? My mom is disabled and she only gets 3500 a year from SSA, and she has been living with me for the last few years, she separated from my dad but they have not divorced. The system told me to file as head of household, is this convenient if im not married?
