If and only if she pays more than half the cost of
maintaining the household for the year, she qualifies as
head of household. If BF pays more than half, it depends on
his relationship with the dependent child. See IRS
Publication 501.

I need to know Head of Household applies. Szenario: Woman
lives with dependent child and boyfriend in same house.
Woman pays about the same for utilities and food as does the
bf for mortgage. House is in BF name, but will be in both
names before the taxyear is over.

Thank you
