My girlfriend and I had a child this year. How do we decide who claims our daughter on our tax returns? Does it make sense for one of us to file as head of household?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

Yes, typically filing head of household yields greater tax benefits than filing as single since the standard deduction is greater and tax rates are lower.
