Its not really a choice...if you qualify as head of household...but you must qualify...it's better. If you qualify, filing Head of Household enables you to greatly lower your tax liability by applying exemptions to lower your taxable income amount. If you also have a qualifying dependent, you may be eligible for an (EIC) Earned Income Credit.

No, you cannot claim single head of household unless someone you claim as a dependent lives in your home.
None of your claimed dependents that qualify you for head of household can be claimed on any other returen, including their own.
When he/she doesn't meet all of the requirements for filing as head of household. The requirements can be found on page 7 of Publication 501: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
Not in this scenario. One dependent can only qualify one person for the head of household filing status. Even if there were 2 children, each person would have to be maintaining a household for one of the children to qualify. Example 1: Two roommates split the rent and other household expenses. Each has a child and takes care of the expenses for their child. Each can qualify as head of household assuming they meet all other requirements. Example 2: An unmarried couple has two children and live together. They live jointly and use their money jointly. They are not living as roommates. The person making the most money can qualify as head of household, because they would be maintaining more than half the costs of keeping up a home for a qualifying child. The other person qualifies as single. This is true regardless of who claims the children.
No she would not qualify for the HOH filing status because she has to have a qualifying blood related dependent that she would be claiming on her income tax return to qualify for the HOH filing status
If you are head of the family then you are head of the household anywhere.
Another name for the male head of the household is "patriarch."
The advantage is a higher standard deduction and tax rates are lower. You need to have a child or parent who lives with you to qualify for HOH.
i guess the oldest man in the household. Like you live with your mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma, the head of the household would be your grandpa. (But he has to live with you for that to work.)
NO. The day that your divorce becomes final your filing status become single unless you have a qualifying dependent living with you then you could qualify for the head of household filing status.
