Everyone with earned income who is not a dependent qualifies for the MWP credit. It’s 6.2% of your earned income, capped at $ 400 per taxpayer. See Schedule M.
The Credit for Federal Tax on Fuels is for certain non-taxable business use of taxable motor fuels. Examples would include farm use of motor fuels, commercial fishing, stationary engines, etc. See Form 4136 and its instructions for more information.
Filing as Head of Household has nothing to do with what state you live in.

Wage earners taxpayers who receive income that they worked for during the tax year 2010 will benefit from the MWPTC amount IF the taxpayer is NOT a dependent of another taxpayer for the tax year.
Use would have to use the schedule M of the 1040 income tax return for this purpose IF you qualify to claim the MWPTC amount of 400.
Your filing status would NOT have any thing to do with it.
BUT the ordinary taxpayer would NOT be qualified to use the form 4136 for the off road fuel tax credit amounts that would be available to the qualified users of the fuel.

Hope that you do find the above enclosed information useful for your situation and good luck to you with this matter.
you probably need to find the forms that apply to these credits, Sch M, Make Work Pay is based on earned income(on which SS has been taxed)
the credit for fuels is specifically directed to an unique situation, if you comply, it will be applicable
For the IRS, HOH is their rules and requires that you have close relative to claim. If you in an RDP and live with your partner, you do not qualify for HOH at the state level.
MWP is automatic.
The credit for fuels is very rare. Unless you actually own a farm or a fishing boat, you shouldn’t have a credit to claim. This is a high fraud area and pretty much guarantees and audit.
