Filed Head of Household in 2022 and want to continue as HOH. Indicating that I have to file Single as daughter is no longer a dependent. I paid 100% house expenditures.

Filing as Head of Household will result in less tax and more refund, as your income will fall in lower tax brackets and you will have a higher standard deduction.

 

But you can't file as Head of Hpusehold if you no longer have a qualifying dependent.

 

There are conditions to satisfy in order to file as Head of household. You must:

 

• Pay for more than half of the household expenses
• Be considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year, and
• You must have a qualifying child or dependent.

 

Please read this TurboTax article for more information.

Unless you can claim a qualified dependent, you will need to file as Single.  In order to file as HOH, you need a qualified dependent.
