It doesn't, under your circumstances. To claim head of household, you have to be providing over half of the cost of maintaining a home for a closely related dependent. You and your daughter aren't closely related to him, so no he can't file as head of household even if he provides most of the cost of maintaining the home. Even if you weren't working, he could possibly claim you, but not your daughter, since she isn't his biological child and is yours, as a dependent. Since you and he aren't related, he couldn't file as head of household even if he could claim you as a dependent.
If you provide over half the cost of maintaining your home, then YOU could file as head of household, If he does, or if you split everything equally, then you can't file that way either.
Most of the answers above are at least partially right, but most give a wrong reason as part of the answer. |

A person cannot use the Head of Household filing status unless they maintain a home for certain relatives. Since this does not apply to your boyfriend, he cannot file as HOH.
If he is unmarried, he must file as Single. If he is married he must file as Married Filing Separately. He has no other options.
He cannot claim you as a dependent as long as you file and claim yourself. Under no circumstances could he claim your child.
Do yourself a favor, file your return as early as you can to avoid problems. |

He can't, pure and simple. You can, as long as you pay more than half the cost of maintaining the home for you and your daughter. |

No, he can not claim head of household, even if he pays for the child's support. He would have to legally adopt your daughter to do that.
For him to claim HOH, he would need a "qualifying child". These are the only qualifying children:
Adopted child, Birth child, Half brother, Half sister, Eligible foster child, Stepchild, Grandchild, Nephew, Niece,
Brother, Sister, Stepbrother, or Stepsister . |

Your boyfriend can't claim Head of Household status. The child is not his qualifying child (such as a son, daughter, or grandchild who lived with you more than half the year and meets certain other tests) or qualifying relative (father or mother, grandparent, brother, or sister who meets certain tests). Besides he must be able to claim her his dependent. |

He can't claim head of household unless he is supporting a child and since you are claiming your daughter he can't also claim her. Her father might be able to it depends what the divorce had in it. |

He can't claim head of household (HOH) because the dependant in question is already (or going to be) claimed by you.
He also won't be able to claim HOH because he may not be providing more than 50% for the support of the household, hence Head of Household. |

You can file as head of household because of your daughter, but he can't since he isn't her father. |
