Grandson and daughter lived with me all year. I'm not claiming GS as a dependent. If I choose that daughter lived w/ me and contributed to GS support, it rejects HOH. But if I say she didn't contribute, it makes him my dependent. Can't he be a qualifying person, but not my dependent? How do I make Turbotax accept this?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
No. In order to file as HOH you must have a qualified dependent. TurboTax will not bend the IRS rules for you.
