My mom doesn’t have a defendant to claim so she can’t claim HOH. We split the rent for the most part but technically I owe her money from past bills. So she has paid more financially at our home. We do both buy food and share it. I however DO have a qualifying dependent , my child. Based off of the fact that I am in debt to her and she has paid more towards bills than I have ... can I fold HOH or no ? Should I file as single instead ?
