Head of household requires that you have a related person that lived with you more the half the tax year and you *can* claim as a dependent. There is only one condition in the tax law where that person would not be a dependent and that is in the case of separated parents and the other parent is claiming the dependent but that only applies to a child under age 19 or under 24 if a full time student. In all other cases you must claim the dependent.
Why can't you claim the dependent?
