Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The filing status applies to the taxpayer.  If this is your tax return the Head of Household classification belongs to you.

 

On the other hand it is possible that if your son supports you (including other conditions) that he could claim Head of Household.

 

The key is that the TAX STATUS belongs to whoever the tax return is prepared for.
