If your child lived with you but you did not claim it as a dependent you can still file head of household. You have to list the child's name and social security number on your return.
In order to claim Head of Household status, you must be unmarried AND you must maintain a home for more than one-half of the year for a qualifying child or another dependent.
No, you cannot claim single head of household unless someone you claim as a dependent lives in your home.
If the "dependent" brother is under 19 and is not a full time student then you can not claim him as a dependent and you can not claim Head of Household status. How old is this brother?
Yes, you may still be able to claim head of household if your dependent was incarcerated if you provided more than half of the cost of keeping up a home for yourself and a qualifying person (such as another dependent) for more than half of the year. Be sure to consult with a tax professional or use tax software to accurately determine your eligibility.
I believe you need a dependent to have a household.
If the parent or guardian provides more then half the support of a minor child the child can be claimed as a dependent on the head of household IRS filing. Please note, The SSI benefits cannot be used as a portion of the "half" amount.
No you have to have a qualifying person in your home that you provided support for. Unless it is stated in a divorcee decree that they may claim the child only for credit purposes.
Yes but you must be able to claim them even though you gave up the dependency. The child must live with you all year.
The occupation of the person makes no difference. You can only be a dependent one place.
==Definition == The filing status used by an unmarried taxpayer who pays over half the cost of maintaining his home that is the principal residence for over half the tax year of his unmarried child or other lineal descendent (this child does not have to be a dependent) or of his dependent married child or other qualified relative.
