Community Basics

You are paying for groceries and utilities?  Whose house is it?  Who is paying for the other expenses?  Are you actually paying for over half of your mother's support?      If your mother pays for over half her own support--including by owning the home you are both in----then you cannot claim her as a qualified dependent for HOH filing status.     Did your mother have more than $4700 of income ---not counting any Social Security?

In order to file as HOH you must be able to claim a qualified dependent.  It is not clear whether your mom can be claimed as your dependent.

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:
