Head of Household Qualification
To qualify for Head of Household filing status, you generally must meet all of the following requirements:
- You were unmarried or considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year.
- You paid more than half of the cost of maintaining your home during the year (such as rent, mortgage, utilities, property taxes, insurance, groceries, and other household expenses).
- A qualifying child or other qualifying dependent lived with you for more than half of the year (exceptions may apply for certain parents).
Please note: Choosing Head of Household does not automatically mean you qualify.
During the preparation of your tax return, Blueprint Professional Services will review your information and supporting documentation to determine whether you meet IRS eligibility requirements.
