Hello:
Yes, you can claim Head of Household for the year she passed 2023 because you paid her costs until her death. You will still claim your parent as a dependent and you can file as head of household for 2023.
You can claim a dependent who died during the year if you would have been entitled to claim them if they would have survived through the end of the year.
For future tax years you filing status will be single.
Take Care.
Have an amazing day. Evelyn M (CPA 20+ years)
