Husband and I divorced in March 2017 but he continued to live with me and was unemployed the entire year, Do I file as single? Can I claim him as a dependent?

If you were divorced at the end of 2017, then you have to file as single or Head of Household IF you also had children you were supporting. Ex-spouse does not count as a qualified dependent for HOH.

"He was unemployed" Did he receive unemployment compensation? Any other income at all? Was he there for the ENTIRE year of 2017?
