To claim Head of Household you must provide over 1/2 of the cost of maintaining a household for you and a qualifying relative.  Because of that, two adults in the same household cannot both claim HOH even if they each have a qualifying relative, as each cannot pay MORE THAN 1/2 of the cost.  One has to pay more, one has to pay less.
