Can you claim head of household if you live with your parents?

Only if all of the rules are met by every one and you qualify to claim them as a qualifying relative dependent on your income tax return. This is your decision that you will have to make on your own as you have all of the necessary information that is needed to determine if you and they meet all of the rules for YOU to be able to QUALIFY to LIST either one of them as your qualifying relative dependent ON your own income tax return so that you CAN QUALIFY for the Head of Household filing status. You must be able to claim them as dependents to file using the Head-of-Household filing status. You can find all of the rules at by going to the IRS gov web site and using the search box for Publication 17 go to Chapter 2 for Filing Status go to Chapter 3 for Personal Exemptions and Dependents

Can you claim as a dependent a disabled non-relative housemate if you paid more that 60 percent of her living expenses?

A person can claim head of household only if the dependent is related, almost any relationanything but a cousin. You can not claim head of household if they are not related. Yes, you would have to file head of household. This is perfectly legitimate and quite common. The person you are claiming as your dependent COULD NOT claim his/herself on their own separate tax return. Speaking from my experience as a tax examiner, I would try to not complicate matters by providing too much information, aside from that required on the "dependents claimed" lines. Additionally, I wouldn't include any superfluous handwritten or typed correspondence outside of the typical standard forms regarding the nature of the dependant, aside from non-relative. I wouldn't necessarily qualify your support of this individual as a percentage, if you said you paid the "majority" of an individual's expenses it would be less open to confusion and scrutiny. 60% is a majority, after all. One down-side is if the individual you plan claim is receiving social security benefits, the benefits might be subject to a living adjustment since you are easing the individual's burden. Once again, it would pay to be vague. I doubt seriously anything would be affected retroactively, it depends largely on the information the dependant included on his/her social disability claim, that is if he/she even submitted one. Trying to simplify - to claim as a dependent, regardless of how you file - the dependent must be a "qualifying" (strictly defined) child or relative (2 different catagories), that isn't claimed by anyone else, including themselves on their own return. It would seem you have no chance.


What can I claim from my home on federal taxes?

Can I claim my home inspection invoice for a home I just purchased as a deduction on my federal taxes No. Virtually none of your home purchase costs, like the costs of anything you buy for your own use, are deductible. If you were to be buying it as a pure real estate investment, say to rent, then it may be capitialized and recaptured on sale. Of course, you wouldn't hve any of the advantages during ownership that are given to home owners.
