What's on Form 886-H-HOH (SP)
Requisito de Matrimonio
The marriage requirement, in three rows: single, divorced or legally separated, and married with the spouse not living in the home during the last 6 months of tax year 2019.
Requisito de Persona Calificada
A child (including an adopted child or one whose adoption is pending), a brother or sister, stepbrother or stepsister or any of their descendants, or a qualifying foster child, for whom a dependency exemption can be claimed and who lived in the home more than half of 2019. The form says temporary absences, such as time at school, count as time lived in the home, and that a married child has to be a dependent.
Relationship documents
Birth certificates or other official birth documents, marriage certificates, letters from an authorized adoption or placement agency, or a court document. The form says to send these only for a qualifying child who is not a natural or adopted child.
Proof of living together
School, medical, daycare or social service records, or a letter on official letterhead showing names, addresses and dates. A letter from a relative who provides daycare needs at least one additional letter.
Requisito del Costo de Mantener un Hogar
For paying more than half the cost of keeping up the home for 2019: rent receipts, utility bills, grocery bills, real estate tax bills, mortgage interest statement, upkeep and repair bills, property insurance and other household expenses.
