My sister has schizophrenia and psychosis and I support her and cover her expenses. She goes to a doctor for this. Would this qualify me as head of household?

Based on the facts provided and the information below it appears that you can claim HOH, if you meet the requirements.  

 

To file as head of household, you must: Pay for more than half of the household expenses. Be considered unmarried for the tax year, and. You must have a qualifying child or dependent.

 

The child must be your biological or adopted child, stepchild, foster child, sibling, step sibling, half sibling, or a descendant (child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc.) of one of these relatives. The child must have lived within your home for more than six months during the tax year.

 

She may also qualify as a dependent also.  Click here for more information on qualifying dependent.
