It is correct. You must pay more than half of the expense for a home for a person you can claim as a dependent. Since your son is not your dependent, Single filing status is what you must use.
You can qualify for Head of Household if you:
- Were unmarried as of December 31, 2023 and
- Paid more than half the cost to run your (or a qualifying parent's) home this year (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and
- Supported a qualifying person.
