You might need to go through the "Personal Information" section for you and your dependent. According to the IRS: "You may be able to file as head of household if you meet all the following requirements. You are unmarried or considered unmarried on the last day of the year. See Marital Status , earlier, and Considered Unmarried , later. You paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year. A qualifying person lived with you in the home for more than half the year (except for temporary absences, such as school)."IRS Pub 501
