Since you do not live together, you need to use your own address for filing purposes.
If each of you maintain a household for one or more dependent children who live with you, you may claim Head of Household status. Obviously, there needs to be two children involved -- one living with you and one living with your ex.

Vb is proper. If it was 2 women or 2 guys unrelated or not in a relationship you would argue that you just every 100% support your own households within the identical condo. Multiple HOH at one deal with is a pink flag for an audit. It is heavily penalized. A couple living collectively as if married won't pass scrutiny. You can not say you under no circumstances purchased anything whatever on your boyfriends baby or him. Never paid for a dinner out. Not ever took his youngster someplace (fuel and transportation).

if you or your spouse have not lived apart for more than 6months apart you do not qualify for the head of household filing status because you are not considered unmarried. Your filing status for the year will either be married filing separately, or married filing jointly. If it is married filing separately, you will not qualify for the Earned Income Credit and cannot claim a credit based on child care expenses. If you file a joint return with your spouse, you may be eligible to claim these credits. See Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses and Publication 596, Earned Income Credit.

It is head of household, not head of house. You can have two households sharing the same house. For example, you have two individuals, not married to one another, sharing the house as housemates. Each of the two individuals has a child that they claim as a dependent. Each of them would file as head of household even though they share the same address. In effect, you have two households sharing the same house.
You did not elaborate whether you had any children. If you had no children and you were divorced, your ex cannot file as head of household using you as part of his "household".

I think you can if you are filing seperate returns and contribute equally to the households income.

Bostonianinmo gives the best advice here. He has actually read your question in its entirety.
The one person who suggested you break the law (you can recognize him by the numerous thumbs down) should reconsider his answer very carefully.

You can't but, why use his address ad not your own? If you used your own, you would be ok with both claiming HH as long as you have more than one child figuring that you both pay for the place of abode for one of them.

UNLESS you are legally divorced and have been divorced for more than 6 months you CANNOT! I don't think your mailing address is really the issue. Take a look at this IRS link for more info:http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq-kw80.html
