Headed household is a filing status for single parents and similar persons. You must provide care in your home for at least one qualifying person, who is almost always your child or grandchild dependent under age 19 (or full time student under age 24). (There are some uncommon types of qualifying person, but it is almost always a child dependent.)
Why are you removing your grandchild as a dependent? Why do you think you should still be allowed to file as HOH?
