2020 HOH requirements?

[dude7707]

Case #1 - 41 Single T/P RENTING pays following for 64 year old roommate:

Rent - 26%

Utilities - 50%

Food - 100%

Eligible?

Case #2 - 41 Single T/P RENTING pays following for 74 year old roommate: 

Rent - 26%

Utilities - 50%

Food - 100%

Eligible?

Given limited facts, I would say neither case makes T/P eligible for HOH......

Has to be a relative to qualify you for HOH, roommates dont count.

Good security reasons from Intuit’s perspective… you might try a password minder like LastPass or if you’re feeling secure in your environment you can pin your password to your clipboard https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/clipboard-in-windows-10-c436501e-985d-1c8d-97ea-fe46ddf3...

These are Tax Prep 101 questions that Chapter 1 of Pub 17 or the tools on the IRS website can assist with, but ideally this is stuff you should know off the top of your head as a tax professional.
