I am filling out my W-4 and wondering if I am considered Head of Household. I am a full-time student, and I work full-time as well. I have my own apartment (renting) and I pay all the utilities and support myself. Does Head of Household mean you have to own a house?? Thanks!

No, head of household means you have a dependent, or dependents.
You would be considered single, but you can use your school fees and other expenses if you file a long form.

You can only claim single or married on a W4 form. You claim Head of Household on your income tax returns when you maintain a residence and have a qualifying child or relative live with you. You have to pay at least 50% support of the qualifying child or relative as well. After reading your question you are "Single" not Head of Household.

There isn't a head of household box on the w-4. As far as your info goes, it doesn't look like you qualify on your 1040, either, since you don't have a dependent. To be a "head of household," you need to maintain your own household for yourself and for a qualified child.

Head of household means that you have at least one closely related dependent, and provide over half of the expenses of keeping up a home for them. It has nothing to do with whether that home is owned or rented.
No, unless you have a child or two you didn't mention, you are NOT head of household.

No you are not a head of household as you don't technically have a household. You would need dependents to qualify as head of household.

For tax purposes... You are single. Head of household would require dependents that you are taking care of.

No, but it does mean head of a household that has more than one person. You do not qualify.

No, you don't have to own a house but you do have to be maintaining a household for yourself and someone else.
If you are just supporting yourself, you are "Single".
