gfizer Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 I think I'm right on this one but just wanted to see what you guys thought. I have a female taxpayer who has been separated from her husband for 2 years but never legally divorced. She has a teenage daughter from a previous marriage who lives with her. She paid more than 1/2 the cost of keeping up the home and is the only person entitled to claim her daughter. Do you agree that I am correct in saying that she meets the tests to be "considered unmarried" and can therefore file as HOH? Quote
joanmcq Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 Yup, as long as the daughter spent more than half the year in the taxpayer's home. 1 Quote

Tom Hollister, CA Not even one night, Tom. In fact, another man now lives with her so it could make for a tense situation. LOL! Quote
