Claiming Head of Household
I am near the end of my divorce and hasd a question about my new filing status. I get to claim all 3 of my children on my taxes but only have 33% custody of the children. My ex will probably not have to file her taxes for 2010 because alimony is only about $850 / month and of course child support is not reportable. I know the general rul is the person with more than 50% custody gets o claim Head of Household but since I get to claim all three children can I claim this status and be acceptable to the IRS?
Thanks for your response!
