Why cant i file head of household

[jess-chelle]

My partner lived with me for the entire year, had 0 income, if i can claim him as a dependent why can't I claim head of household as i am the head of household paying for the entirety of our living expenses?

A dependent must be related to you, in order to qualify for head of household filing status. Please view the Turbo Tax FAQ below for more information about this rule.
