@TaxGuyBill  When I read the rules for HOH it states you have to have a qualifying child.  It does not state that you have to claim the child.  There is even a place in the program under HOH that says "If qualifying person is child but not a dependent" and then has all the information for the child.

I am not saying you are wrong - I am trying to make sure why you say that.  Where in the rules does it say the Qualifying Child has to be claimed as a dependent to claim Head of Household? 

Just trying to learn Dusty

I was incorrect and appreciate the information
