You must be un-married or "considered un-married" at the end of the tax year.
You must pay more than one-half of the cost of maintaining a home for the year.
A "qualifying person" must have lived with you in that home for more than half of the year. If the "qualifying person" is your dependent parent, they do not have to live with you.
For definitions of some of the terms here, such as "considered un-married" and "qualifying person", see IRS Pub 501, starting on page 4. You can get a copy from the IRS website.
