Help with search

I have tried to search for HOH and all I get is a message not enough characters.

I have a client that took in a homeless person (a niece of hers) in Sept of 2007, and wants to know if there is any way of claiming HOH.

Not sure where you are searching - I assume you don't have Kleinrock or anyother research material? Did you try going to the IRS website under publications and entering in "head of household' in the search box.

Basically the search algorithm ignores words less than 4 characters, such as a is no on at etc since they usually don't mean much and it cuts down on the amount of information the program has to index which means faster searches. You will just have to rely on what comes out when you search on 'head of household' instead.
