Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you didn't move in together until May, you can both file HoH for 2018 as you both (probably) paid more than half the total yearly household expenses*, for your respective dependents, for 2018.
However, going forward (2019+), only one of you can claim HoH. The other will have to file single. Getting married by 12-31-19 would allow you to file as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ).
*100% for 5 months + 50%(+/-) for 7 months = more than half of the year's total.
