Unless your boyfriend is a relative listed in Table 4 on page 8 of Publication 501

or you also happened to have another qualifying relative for whom you kept up a home, then you cannot file as Head of Household.
If your boyfriend lived with you as part of your household, you may be able to claim him as a dependent. Please refer to Table 5 on page 11 of Publication 501:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
Note that a person who lived with you can be a "qualifying relative" even if you are not related to each other.
I realize this is very confusing. Your boyfriend could be a "qualifying relative" for purposes of claiming a dependent exemption, but not a "qualifying person" for purposes of claiming Head of Household status.
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?
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.
Yes but you must be able to claim them even though you gave up the dependency. The child must live with you all year.
No, you cannot claim single head of household unless someone you claim as a dependent lives in your home.

Head of household is a status filing for U.S. federal income taxes. If you are entitled to claim head of household and wish to do so, you simply include it on your 1040 or other tax filing.
No
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.
