For tax year 2018, you can qualify for Head of Household if you:

  1. Were unmarried as of December 31, 2018, and
  2. Paid more than half the cost to run your (or a qualifying parent's) home in 2018 (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and
  3. Supported a qualifying person.

If you were still legally married as of December 31 and a child lives with you, you can qualify for Head of Household under a slightly different set of rules. Read more

After you answer all the questions about yourself and your dependents at the beginning of your return, we'll let you know if your situation qualifies for Head of Household.

You can also revisit these questions by selecting My Info (online) or Personal Info (software), and then selecting Edit next to your name or your dependent's.

It would be hard to provide more than 50% of the support for the entire household with that low of an income. Did you live with  another adult in 2018?
