Change the Income Tax Code to allow separated grandparents to be eligible for the same tax benefits as other tax payers

Under current tax code the different dependent requirements for claiming Head Of Household for single taxpayers and for married considered unmarried taxpayers excludes separated grandparents from claiming this status. If you are in the married considered unmarried group the only dependents that qualify you for this status is child, stepchild, and foster child. If denied this filing status the only status they can file under is married filing joint or married filing separate. If they are forced to file as married filing separately they will also lose the child benefits such as child tax credit and earned income credit. If you go to my website taxesdoneright.us you can view the IRS document that clearly shows this denial of benefit and additional information.
