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.
