HOLD EVERYTHING, Magen!!
First, HOW OLD ARE YOU!
Second, you can make the argument that if you make $7,900 and your mother makes only $2,000, that she is YOUR dependent, not vice versa!
If you are 19 years of age or older and you are not a full-time student, she cannot claim you as a dependent.
However, since she makes less than $2,000, you can legally claim her.
It will not make a difference, since, at $7,900, your income is so low that you will owe NO income taxes, but by you claiming Head of Household, you MAY qualify for the Earned Income Credit.
