The taxpayer's mother lives in a nearby nursing home. The mother's only income is from SSI and Social Security disability. Can the daughter claim the mother as a dependent if she (the daughter) pays more than half the mother's expenses? And, if so, can this dependency be used to allow the daughter (unmarried, no other dependents) to file as Head of Household?
========================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT: Looks like HoH is fine if you included social secuity and ssi as part of her total support and you provided more than half her total support
