  By your first written response it looks like you say that the person living with me would also need to have a child?


You mis-read what I posted.   The first sentence refers to the person claiming HOH (you), not the dependent, and only if you are married (if you are single then it does not apply).

 

Also, a 25 year old child can only be a Qualifying Relative dependent so being a student makes no difference for a child over age 23.
