HOH - Parent -> Adult Children


ILLMAS

Recommended Posts

According to the TP and adult child (early 30s), TP provided more then 50% of support, lived at home with parent full year, parent paid all utilities, property taxes even cell phone bill for adult children with a 100K salary.  Adult child was working full-time for about 3-4 months and quit their job with earnings under 10K for the year, would the parent qualify for HOH?  I looked up the IRS rules and I see why not, but with all the due diligence penalties, I rather get someone else's thought that has gone through this before.

Thanks

You have to use the rules for Qualifying Relative, not Qualifying Child...and the "child" ... now "relative," made too much money. So, the taxpayer does not have a qualifying dependent for HOH filing status. 

Thanks, the child is a son

  • The child must be your biological child, stepchild, foster child, sibling, step sibling, half sibling, or a descendant (child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc.) of one of these relatives.  Son
  • The child must have lived within your home for more than six months during the tax year.  Full Year
  • The child needs to be younger than you.  Yes
  • As of the end of the tax year, the child must be under 19 if he is not a student, or under 24 if he is a full-time college student.  No
  • The child must not have paid for more than half of his living expenses during the tax year.  Parent paid everything, son pocket his personal money
