My ex-husband and I share two daughters and will transition to 50/50 custody next year. Our divorce agreement states that we each claim one child every year. Since we each claim one child, are we able to each claim HOH? Or is this strictly based on physical location? If not, is it legal to agree to alternate years each person claims HOH? It seems silly to let this tax benefit go to waste. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm able to claim HOH this year. I had my girls 65% of the time, but he will be claiming one as a dependent as per our divorce agreement. If anyone could give me your thoughts on that as well it would be appreciated.
Thank you.
