We want to look at head of household above that is not the situation in our example but the IRS does give you a little definition of head of household. Head of household filing status only if you are unmarried and paying 50% of the cost of keeping up a home for yourself and your dependents or other qualifying individuals. So since that is not the case in our example we enter 0 on line E. We would go to line F and it says "enter 1 if you have at least $1500 of child support or dependent care expensive which you can claim a credit. So in this case we are going to enter 0 because they do not plan to have this much expense. We go to line G child tax credit and there is some information here that states "If your total income would be less then $57000. $85000 if married enter 2 for each eligible child." If your total income would be between $57000 and $84000 that is $85,000 and a $119,000 if married enter one for each eligible child. In this case James would enter 1 for each eligible child so that is 2 total. Then we would add lines A through G which comes to 5 and we would put that on line H. So we have 1,2, and 2.
