Filing Status HH - Not Claiming as a Dependent


Below the filing status 4 (HH) line on the Main Information Sheet, there is a box which asks for the name and SSN of the dependent that you are NOT claiming as an exemption. Enter this information any time that you have a person who qualifies you for the Head of Household filing status but the person is not your dependent.

If you qualify for EIC and/or Dependant Care for this child, list the child's information in the dependent section (line 6C) of the Main Information Sheet. The Dependency Code should be "0"(zero). (Dependent Code 0 means that the person is not being claimed as your dependent.) Make sure that the box for EIC (Earned Income Credit and/or DC (Dependent Care Credit), whichever applies, is marked with an "X". Then go to the Schedule EIC Worksheet and/or Form 2441 and enter any applicable information and questions about the child.
