Thanks so much for explaining this. I was confused about what Head of houshold meant for awhile.

[meili]

The taxpayer paid all household expenses and fully maintains the home (100%). She is single, has never been married, and supports her 23-year-old unmarried son, who lived with her throughout 2024. He works and has a W-2 with $16, 000 in earnings. He is not a student, and his mother still supports him.

Could the taxpayer claim Head of Household (HOH) status?

Single though grandparent receives about 10k total for ssi and ssa and lives with me. DO i qualify for head of household

There's a lot more missing from the question you are answering. Is the daughter of age, making her own money filing her own tax return? Can the parent still file head of household?

Question-divorced in Nov of 24, ex moved out in October… 20 year old daughter lives with me when she’s not at college. Am I head of household?

[JIMDANCUBS]

Age does not matter for the daughter ? Over 26 is OK and lives with her Dad. Head of Household is OK?

[gravielagarfias]

What if a daughter lives with me would they be considered their own household?
