Hi Folks, I am about to step in tax filing season for the year 2022, but I am not sure which status i have to be. I sponsored a green card to my parent, who came to on Late July. Due to the senior age, she did not work entire year and relied on my income. According to IRS portal, dependent should live with you more than 6 months to file as a head of household. Turbo tax software asked basic questions such as who and how many months lived with you till December 31 and it seems I am qualified for a head of household, but I want to confirm with those who faced the situation like mine. Thanks in advance!

Hi folks, I sponsored my mom's green card and she is expected to be coming in July. I live in California and medical insurance is a must for all residents. I was checking basic plans for her (she is 62) and prices start from $700 per month, which definitely i won't be able to afford and most likely I want to lean towards medicaid. Also, i checked public charge guideline for sponsors and it looks like non-cash federal assistance is not longer part of the public charge. Can you guys confirm it if anyone encountered with this matter?
