Only one person per household can claim the status of Head of Household

 

To qualify for Head of Household you must meet the following qualifications:

 

  1. Were unmarried as of December 31, 2023 and
  2. Paid more than half the cost to run your (or a qualifying parent's) home this year (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and
  3. Supported a qualifying person.

Since neither one of you paid more than half, you won't qualify for Head of Household.
