Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Both of you cannot claim HoH. Although that's theoretically possible, you situation does not qualify.

You say you split expenses evenly. That would mean neither of you can claim HoH, as neither has paid MORE than half the household expenses. You need to arrange your finances so that the person you want to be HoH pays slightly more than the other. Remember, to be HoH, you must be claiming a dependent that resides in the household. So, it sounds like that should be you.
