| I have a divorced client that provides over 1/2 income for his (1) dependent and the dependent lives with him over half the year. The mother is filing single and claiming the their son as her dependent. Can my client (the Father) claim head of household but not claim him as a dependent? | |
| 22 January 2009 | |
| Yes. He should give her a 8332 and she will get CTC and he the rest of the credits if eligible. | |
| 22 January 2009 | |
| There is a blank next to Line 4 on Form 1040 for the child's name for cases such as this. | |
| 22 January 2009 | |
| Actually Line 4 of Form 1040 doesn't require the SSN, just the child's name, but your tax software program will ask for the SSN. | |
