I found the following post and confused by bullet 3. ..... (non-child dependents in your home don't qualify)
But someone's parent(s) or relatives can be the qualifying dependent(s). Your parents do not have to live with you to qualify. I don't know about relative. Even though some online posts state "direct relatives do not have to live with you.
Can someone clarify bullet 3 - is it incorrect?
Thank you.

Even if you were legally married as of December 31, you're considered unmarried (and therefore eligible for Head of Household) if all five of these conditions apply:
- You won't be filing jointly with your spouse
- Your spouse didn't live in your home after June (temporary absences due to illness, school, vacation, business, or military service don't count)
- Your home was your child's, stepchild's, or foster child's main home for more than half the year (non-child dependents in your home don't qualify)
