Head of Household (HOH) is a filing status you can claim if you’re single or
unmarried and maintain a home for a qualifying person, such as a child or
relative. The Head of Household vs. Single status provides a larger standard
deduction and more generous tax rates for calculating federal income tax.
Requirements for claiming Head of Household status:
- You must be unmarried on the last day of the tax year or “considered
unmarried”. - You must have paid more than half of the cost of maintaining a household for the
year. - You must have maintained a household for a qualifying person.
