I'm a divorced dad of 3 girls. The younger two spend about a 35% of nights with with me, so in past years I've put down that they live with me for 4 months. My ex is the custodial parent, but we alternate dependents each year. Since the divorce, I've been filing as single.
This year, according to our plan, I claim my eldest as a dependent, who is 18 and in college and does not provide half of her support.
Turbo Tax says if the dependent is away at school, I can claim those months away as living with me. If I do that, Turbo Tax recommends I file as head of household. Given all of the above, should I file as head of household?
