Strategizing Your Income Flow

Are you accidentally disqualifying yourself from Head of Household status?

If you use your paycheck for 'People' costs (clothes/hobbies) and use child support for 'Container' costs (rent/utilities), you are hurting your HOH math. The IRS needs to see that YOUR earned income covers the majority of the household upkeep.

  • Use earned income for Rent, Utilities, and Groceries.
  • Use child support/TANF for Clothing, Medical, and Education.
  • Document the flow of funds to audit-proof your status.
