I have two children, each from a separate marriage. Child A is 13, I claim him on odd tax years, child B is 8, is claimed on even years. Child B's mother would like to swap her so I would have her on odd years. This would mean on even years in the future I will claim no dependants, odd years Id claim 2 in upcoming 2017, 2019, and 2021. I do have "custody" of both children and file as head of household. (If im correct, having no dependants will bar me from this filing status for even years?). I need to know if changing my current set up will hurt me financially or if it would wash out over each two year period. Other back ground info, income 75-80k claiming around 17k in deductions. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
