asked

I have been living with my girlfriend for over a year now, and she wants to claim me as a dependent in order to claim "head of household" status since she pays for mortgage, utilities, and most other bills. I do not work and am a retired (100%) disabled veteran, receiving disability pensions from both VA and Social Security which are tax free. I usually help with other expenses, the majority being travel and entertainment expenses. Will the IRS accept this as valid and what will they look for to validate the claim/status?
