If you are single and have no dependents you cannot file head of household. To claim head of household, you must be claiming a qualifying dependent on the return, or, in the case of a qualifying son or daughter, be the custodial parent while allowing the other parent to claim the child on Form 8332. Otherwise, you must use the filing status of single.
