Solve through IRAC (ISSUE, Rules, Analysis, Conclusion) method. Samuel Finley has two children, a daughter Lee and a son Keaton. Samuel has a lovely beach house in Palm Beach. Sam is terminally ill and has been told by his doctors that he has less than a year to live. Lee knows that Keaton is their father’s favourite child and that he had been named in the latter’s will to inherit the beach house. Lee knew that since their father did not have long to live and that he was 90 years old and starting to become mentally-weak, she could pressure him to transfer the Palm Beach beach house over to her even though Samuel may not totally understand what he was signing over.

Exactly who can be a “qualifying relative” and who can’t…??? Say, for example, that you are unmarried but have a “friend” who lives with you full-time / all year. It’s just the two of you (and maybe a quadruped or two). The apartment (or house) is in your name only and you pay all of the rent (or mort-gage) and for absolutely everything else because your friend is a “writer” who does nothing by way of work other than on a supposed novel – which of course brings in absolutely zero income because it never seems to get finished, much less published… Since you’re the sole breadwinner and it’s your apartment (or house), can you file as “Head of household” instead of as “Single”? Explain in 2-3 sentences.
