Hi, I would like everybody's input about this situation. I have a client that is single, lives with his mother and father and he always claims them as dependents in their tax return. It looks that he knows a little bit about taxes and he wants to claim only one parent, so he can keep using the Head of household filing status but he wants the mother to file alone so she could get the two stimulus checks which is more than the amount that she represents if he claims her as a dependent. Is that legal? It might look legal but how would you proceed in that situation? I am just asking for opinions.
