@ So can the father claim head of household naming the child as a qualifying person?
Because both parents pay\split household expenses - shouldn't one of them get to file HOH?
To have Head of Household filing status one of you Must have provided more the one-half the cost to maintain the household, even if by $1. Then that person can claim the child on their tax return and have HOH filing status. The other person can only file as Single with no dependent being claimed on their tax return.
