Claiming child deductions without being a head of household
Divorced parent with 50% custody here. I pay the majority of my son's expense regarding private school, extra curricular activities, clothes, vacations etc. Can I claim tax deductions without being head of household?
The divorce agreement is that the other parent gets to claim head of household every other year. Last year I went ahead and claimed my kid's expenses and my ex blew up so I want to avoid that situation this year. Can I enter education/misc expenses for my child but still let my spouse claim the child deductions?
