Individual has a dependent child and is eligible to file HOH
Calculation is yet to be completed, but if the "individual" has a dependent child but is responsible for any amount less than 50% of the household (i.e., the BF Fiance is satisfying the majority of expenses - BF Fiance files separate and does NOT have dependent child) it appears the individual who have to file as "single" even though the individual has a dependent child.
It appears, as you noted, that the issue is can the individual file as HOH.
Filing HOH would be available if the individual has a dependent child and maintains the home (and that could be 51% of the household expenses.
Yes?
