----- that answer does not apply here --- an unrelated person living in your household for the whole year and for whom you provided more than half of support is a "dependent ' ONLY for purposes of exemption --- not a qualifying person for any credits and/or filing status as HOH. I agree with @VolvoGirl .
Suggest using this from the IRS --- it is straight from the horse's mouth
