In 2016, my daughter and I lived on our own for 8 months. This address is on my W-2s. Because of this, I know to file head of household. However, in August, we moved in with my boyfriend. He says that I should not put his address (my current address) on my tax return because he also files as head of household and there cannot be two with the same address. However, I am only claiming to be the Head of Household for 2016, not currently. So, do I put my old address on the return where I was the head of household or the new one?

Your W-2 information must match exactly, because that's what the issuer of those W-2's sent to the IRS. If you're talking about the "mailing address" you enter under the Personal Info tab, you should use the address of where you live "right now", as that is the address the IRS will send any correspondence to concerning your tax return. If for some reason the IRS can not direct deposit your refund to whatever account you specify, then the IRS will cut a check and mail it to the address you enter in that "mailing address" section under the Personal Info tab. Use your current address. If the BF is only concerned about what "he" can claim, well..... I'll leave that alone.
