My GF and I are expecting our first baby in November. I pay for roughly 75% of all household bills. I plan to claim the baby on my taxes and she will not claim any dependents. Will I qualify for Head of Household with the baby being born late in the year?
Under "qualifying person" for HOH, it lists that the qualifying child has to live with you for over half the year. My confusion is that this statement isn't the same when claiming the newborn as a dependent, as long as they were born within the tax year.
Thanks,
