@Opus 17 maybe it is how I wrote it, but I agree with you and my intent was the same as yours.
A Domestic Partner can be a Qualitying Relative (a blood relationship is not necessary but residing with the taxpayer all year is necessary).
A Domestic Parter can not be a Qualifying Person (in most cases a blood relationship is necessary; some in-laws is the one non-blood situation that can work).
Having a Qualifying Person is one of the "must haves" to claim HOH.
<<However, a DP is not one of the "relatives who don't have to live with you.">>
and if we remove the double negative, a DP is a relative that DOES have to live with you!
please re-read what I wrote.
