No whoever qualifies along with the higher income can claim that credit. There can only be 1 head of houshold per home....
No only one HOH to a home.
yes!
It's an aggregate indicator for a household size. It's used mostly in analyses of household attributes as a substitute for the straightforward household size or simply the number of adults in a household since both these can give inaccurate indications. The OECD approach is using weights that count as 1.0 for the first adult, 0.7 for the second and subsequent adults, and 0.5 for each child under 15. The modified OECD or EU approach is using 1.0 for the first adult, 0.5 for the second and subsequent and 0.3 for each child. There are more elaborate weights in use however from national governements, but as long as the above weights are used uniformly inside a sample, they can be legitimate substitutes of the simpler head-counting or adult-counting.

Without marriage, you are the head of household for yourself and your child. That is because you are both separate entities.
its for both adults and kids
they both are are vitamin
I assume you are talking about an unmarried couple living together who have a child or children living with them, who meet all the requirements for Head of household (HOH) and the dependency exemption. Yes, they could potentially both file as HOH, but only if they each have a qualifying child who lives with them and all other tests are met. So if you only have one child living with you, than only one qualifies for HOH. If there are two children living with you, than you can each claim one of the children for HOH purposes and for the dependency exemption.
== == When parents are divorced, the use of the children's exemptions is generally determined by the decree. It has nothing to do with who pays for what. The parent with whom the children reside for over 50% of the year may claim Head of Household status. At no time may both parents claim the same children in the same year on separate income tax returns. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
Call your agent! Just like you can not insure against theft and then steal it yourself, your minor child is part of your household. The adult complicates the situation however. Your agent will be able to advise you on this. If you do get coverage though (e.g. replacement), you will likely need to turn in both of them.
No. Only one HOH filing status to a home or residence.
You can only claim your sister and her daughter on your taxes if you supported them and they lived in your household. Benefits have to be added to the return as income to the household.
