Why want it let me fild head of house hold

Q. Why won't it let me file as head of house hold (HoH)?

A. You've entered something wrong or you don't qualify for HoH. 

 

What is your situation that do you think you do qualify for HoH?

 

The main requirements for Head of Household are: a taxpayer that

1) is single or did not live with their spouse at any time during the last half of the tax year.

2) has at least one closely related dependent (usually a child) that lived with the taxpayer for more than half the year

3) pays over half of the support of the household expenses, including rent / mortgage, utilities, food.  As a rule of thumb, this means only the higher income parent can claim HoH and he/she would have to have a dependent to do so.
