Would my return have been more if I had filed head of household for the 2015 tax year? I was a homeowner, with a 20 year old dependent that lives with me full time and I take care of, but files taxes too.

If the other person is your child and is not a full time student or the other person is not related to you, then if they have a gross income of $4,000 or more in 2015 you cannot claim them as a dependent. Without a qualifying person as a dependent then you cannot have Head of Household status. You would file as Single.
