"can i claim head of household if my child is over 19 and not a full time student"

You can claim your child as a dependent only if he had gross income of less than $4,050 in 2017.

If he had income over $4,050 then you cannot claim him as a dependent and cannot file as Head of Household.

Please read carefully the questions when you enter his information in the My Info section of TurboTax.
