| I have a client who lives with his girlfriend (both are 51 years old) in an apartment. They have lived together for 6 years.
For 2008, he has $40K in taxable income, she is disabled and received $16K in Social Security Benefits. What are filing options? Can he file as Head of Household without claiming her as dependent? | |

| He cannot file HOH. When claiming a dependent, a non-relative can be a qualifying relative. Not so for HOH. As he has no qualifying relative, HOH is out for him.
His filing option is to file single. | |
