the facts you provide suggest that there is only her and
child in her household. So, then, if she provides more than
half the costs of the household, regardless of other cash
inflows such as GIFTS from the father, then she would meet
the qualifications of HOH.

Unless he's paying the household expenses directly she's
eligible for HofH filing status.

Now a word of unsolicited advice. Your sister should
consider what happens when Prince Charming's wife finds out
about this. It might be a good idea for her to establish
her child's legal rights.

Default Head of Household

My younger sister has a child by her boyfriend who does
not live with her. He is married, but he very good to
her and he supports his child. There is no child support
order, but she says he gave her close to $40,000 last year.
Her salary is $60,000 plus, but she was out of work for
six months in 2003 for pregnancy and maternity leave.
So she made about $30K and he gave her $40K (about $15K
was for pre-natal care due to complications).

Is she a head of household anyway?
