What should I do if I make a mistake on my tax return? It depends on what type of mistake you make. If you made a mathematical mistake, this will usually be caught during processing and corrected.
Of course you can avoid mistakes like this by using an online tax return software program. Your tax return will be scanned for errors and flagged before you send it to the IRS.

Is there an age limit on claiming my children as dependents? If you’re trying to qualify a child, age is a factor. If you’re trying to qualify a relative, age is not a factor. Relationship, residence, age, and support are the factors in determining a qualified child. This can get a little complicated. I would definitely use tax software to help me make sure my return is accurate and error free.

There are certain circumstances in which you do not need to claim the child as a dependent to qualify for head of household filing status.

This particular filing status can be complicated.
