What is the name of your state? NM

Once again I have the same issue, with ex and I claiming my son on alternate years for exemptions. Someone told me that I would be alright, because i still am able to claim of househeld and everything is fine unless I make more than 30k a year. Well what happens when or if I do? Because I just graduated college with a teaching degree and I should be making 30k-32k a year and then it will increase as my years in teaching increase.

You will still be able to claim head of household, you just won't be eligible for earned income credit any longer.....or only eligible for a small amount.

Even on the years that you do get to claim your son, your refund will be much smaller that what you may have been accustomed to in the past.
