Can I claim my girlfriend? She hasn't worked all year
You can claim your girlfriend as a dependent if she passes all the following tests:
1. The person can't be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer.
2. The person must live with you all year as a member of your household (and your relationship must not violate local law).
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $4,050.
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
5. The person is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national.
6. The person is not a married person who files a joint return unless that joint return is filed only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid.
Your girlfriend is not a qualifying person to allow you to file as Head of Household and you must file as Single.
