Did you pay more than half the costs of household support?

[dkc76574]

yes

[BobB7 · Accepted solution]

If you paid more than half the costs of household (including mortgage, insurance, real estate tax, utilities, meals at home) and you and your kids lived together there all year and your husband didn't live there after June 30 then you can file Head of Household.
