Question

I am 28 years old and a single mother who supports my child 100%. I am a full time student, but also work part-time. We do live with my parents, and I do not pay rent or utilities. I do provide everything else for my child and myself, including food. Should I file as Head of Household or Single?

Accepted Answer

Student,

If you are not paying to support the household, you should not file as head of household. You should file single. You do not have to file head of household to receive tax benefits from claiming a dependent.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.
