This course covers claiming dependents - qualifying children and qualifying relatives. The rules have some overlap but there are significant differences between the two. A qualifying child opens the door for more tax benefits and credits than a qualifying relative. We will also touch on head of household filing status in this training.

- Discover and define a qualifying child.
