To qualify for head of household status a taxpayer must maintain a residence that is the principal place of abode for more than one-half of the taxable year of a qualifying child.The issue here is whether Marty’s nine-month military stay in Australia disqualifies Janice from head of household status.Reg. §1.2-2(c)(1) states that temporary absences of a qualifying child from the household due to special circumstances does not preclude taxpayers from qualifying for head of household status.Military service is one of the special circumstances described in the regulation.However, this regulationindicates that it must be reasonable to assume that the qualifying child will return to the household after the absence and that the taxpayer (head of household) maintains the household in anticipation of the return of the qualifying child.Because Marty will be returning to his home (or at least intends to), Janice can file as head of household status.
