For one month she lived with me. After that she was able to move into section 8 housing. She didn't have job. I paid for her rent, grocery, living expenses even though she wasn't living with me. Can I factor this in when filing for my taxes? Can I claim head of household?

*I meant to post this in the Pittsburgh forum.

If she doesn't have any income, the answer appears to be yes.

Talk to a tax preparer or even a tax attorney. There are few on here, including me, who are competent to give you advice.
