head of household dependant deduction

[macuser_22]

Do you have a question?

Here's the question, is the dependent deduction different depending on income?  Last year my deduction was $2,000, this year, Turbo Tax only gave a $500 deduction?  My income is a bit up but not hugely.

Yes it can be but how old is the dependent?

$500 would be the amount for a dependent over the age of 16 at the end of the year.
