There are many milestones and life changes that can affect your tax returns.
For instance, if you have a dependent child turning 17 this year, the $2,000 child
tax credit you have received previously will end.

It’s always a good idea to review your tax situation well in advance of the end
of the year to determine if there are any changes that may affect your return.

Many single parents can claim Head of Household and receive a much better
tax benefit by having a dependent child. However, when your child is no
longer your dependent your filing status changes to Single. Unfortunately,
that translates to a smaller Standard Deduction and higher income tax rates.
