When two (or more) taxpayers share the same address, the question sometimes arises whether the address itself constitutes one household, or whether each family living at that address constitutes its own separate household.
The Internal Revenue Service analyzes the situation based on all the facts and circumstances. The IRS's general thinking is outlined in memorandum from the Chief Counsel's office (SCA 1998-041). In their advice, the IRS outlines their thinking over whether two persons sharing the same residence can each qualify as head of household.
