I have a dghtr.Her mom has sole cstdy. If I pay >1/2 her col & allowed to clm her for dpdnt, Can I claim HOH?

I currently pay her medical and dental + support. Mom says I can deduct since she doesn't work. I want to know if I have her sign the form saying I may claim her as a dependent, may I also claim head of household status come income tax filing season?|||No, you can't claim head of household if she doesn't live with you. But with her mom's written permission you can claim your daughter as a dependent.|||You can easily check with the IRS to determine the current requirements, but I believe that if you pay more than half of her support you can claim her as a deduction.


Make a simple call to the IRS to be sure.|||First-spell properly.


Then, go to www.irs.gov and download the info you need, but if you don't have custody, you can't file head of household.
