For the tuition and Fees deduction (TFD), the income cut off for Head of Household is the same as Single filing status; $65,000 (for the $4000 deduction) and $80,000 for the ($2000 deduction).

So, you are not eligible for the TFD. For those who are eligible, the TFD is in addition to the Standard deduction.
