I am a SAHM in a domestic abuse situation that I am currently trying to get out of. I have no income, except for early withdrawals from my retirement accounts in order to pay for my and our child's living expenses, although we live with my husband (economic abuse situation).
I understand that the withdrawals are considered income, and I have also read that if my husband itemizes, then I have to. He will be itemizing and will be claiming our son as his dependent since we live in the house.
Can I claim the standard deduction if I have no deductions to itemize? Is there anything I can do to lower my tax liability? I feel like I may be further victimized here.
