If you have a qualifying dependent and pay over 50% of the cost of maintaining the home, then yes, you would qualify for head of household.

 

If it says you didn't pay over 50% of the household expenses, then go back and double check your answers.  This answer is based on how you respond to the questions.  Read each question carefully and be sure that you are responding accurately.
