Unfortunately, in order to claim head of household, you must have paid more than half the cost to run your home in 2018, which included rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.
I’m not sure if theirs another option to pick other than yes when asked if i am the head of the house hold, knowing that I am homeless and always been. Can I get some advice on what to do when asked if I’m head of the house hold when filling in the answers that I’m being asked on turbo Tax without a different answer To chose other than yes I am when I don’t have a house.
First, to file tax return you need to have a mailing address. It means if you're filing a tax return, you aren't homeless and you can theoretically be a head of household. Household expenses are not only what help you keeping your home, it is also what keeps you alive: food, clothes, etc. and if you paid for that for you and your child, you can be a head of household.
