Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I am permanently disabled and on social security disability after working for about 30 years my mom had her taxes done by H and R block their the ones that told her to claim head of household so she got a higher deduction and had her amend the last couple years taxes and they advised her not to claim me as a dependent. I live with her full time for about 3 years and she does have to take care of the household expenses because I have alot of medical expenses and couldnt afford to live on my own anymore and had to move in with her after living on my own for a long time I've also unfortunately have had to almost take out all of my retirement account for medical expenses over the years........since my mom used me to qualify as head of household doesnt that require her to also claim me as a dependent? I dont want to do anything wrong or against the law and neither does she. To me when she told me what her tax preparer did didnt sound right to me the way I have read tax laws it looks like if she uses me to qualify as head of household she also has to claim me as a dependent and then I would have to file that someone claims me as a dependent
