text: Seriously dude, you will get kicked out as an audit. You MUST have a qualifying child to qualify for head of household. They changed the rules this year. You have to provide more than 50% of the household maintenance and income for a qualifying CHILD to get head of household. Before your audit comes, I would call the IRS and explain to them. The IRS won't accept it and if you end up refiling late, you'll pay penalties. You are not a qualifying dependant of yourself. Qualifying dependant is what the answer before me stated.
