Equivalent to Spouse deduction

[tacodog]

Can a single person claim their child as equivalent to spouse if the child turns 18 during the tax year? H&R says this: As long as your child was 17 years old at some point during the tax year, they’re considered dependants and can be claimed for the entire year.

Put your flag on your profile so that people can gauge whether they can assist you or not. It's helpful, particularly with tax, because it varies so much between countries.
