You don't have to be married to file as Head of Household.  You can qualify for Head of Household if you:

  1. Were unmarried as of December 31, 2024 and
  2. Paid more than half the cost to run your (or a qualifying parent's) home this year (rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.) and
  3. Supported a qualifying person.

 

Review the TurboTax articles Guide to Filing Taxes as Head of Household,  Do I qualify for Head of Household in 2024?, and Filing Taxes as the Head of Household for more information.

If you do not have a qualified person as a dependent on your tax return you are not eligible for Head of Household filing status.
