Head of Household or Single

Hello

 

My Turbo Tax program recommends that I file as Head of Household, but I want to be sure first.

 

My property has 2 different units on it. I live in one and my Tenant lives in the other.

 

My Tenant pays me rent. I claim that rental income on my taxes, and I pay the Mortgage, etc for the property.

 

I have a 20 year old daughter who is away at College out of state, 10 months out of the year. I never claimed her as a Dependent, because her Mother does. She didn't grow up on my property...... But I do pay for half of her expenses (tuition, Apartment rent, groceries, etc).

 

Am I able to claim "Head of Household"?

 

Thanks for your help.
