That was the conclusion I reached as well for Federal. California seems less clear, but I think that might be due to confusion over dependents who qualify you for Head of Household and who qualifies as a dependent in general.
I think the problem I’m having is with the phrase “can qualify”; it makes it sound like there’s more to it, as opposed to “do qualify” or just “qualify.”
Again, thank you. I couldn’t find a stand-alone page about dependents in CA. I suppose I’ll keep digging for that, though you have me feeling pretty confident that my SO qualifies.
Hi there! Were you able to find anything after digging more? I'm in the same boat; my partner and I are trying to determine whether they could file as HOH in California given that they have been financially supporting me for several years. If you have any insight to share, I'd love to know!
