Eli Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Brain's a little fried here. Taxpayer supports household in Mexico. Claims both parents as dependents. States hers is the only source of income for the home. She rents an apt in Dallas, but goes home on a regular basis. I was thinking she could file as HoH. After reading pub 501 it seems she could, but would like some reassurance here. What ya think? Thanks!! Eli Quote
mcb39 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Eli, it sounded OK to me until I got to rule #4) The taxpayer is a US citizen or resident during the entire year. Oops, now I see the OR, so I cannot find a reason to disqualify the deduction. Quote
