    Cousin-Head of Household

    Taxpayer's cousin lives with him and has not worked all of 2011. I know the taxpayer can claim cousin as a dependent. Trying to decide if the cousin qualifies him to be HOH. I've read everything and can't decide. Can't find cousin in list of relatives but still a direct desecendant of the grandparent, it seems this would be OK?? Any help appreciated.

      Not direct enough however. No HOH. (We are all related.)
