Of course you get a larger refund if you commit tax fraud.  Both "single" and "Head of Household" are filing statuses for *unmarried* persons (or considered unmarried - which you are not).     If you have been filing improperly "for years" I would suggest that you seek out a tax professional to help you to correct those returns before the IRS figures it out - the penalties can be high.

I totally agree. Most likely, you (or she) have been claiming too high an EIC all these years. This can have serious consequences.See this, for example:

Eic?
 100% good honest truth we didn't know well this coming year we're going to h&r  to figure out how to fix this
Man i thought turbo tax was safe so much that we need to know

[SweetieJean]

EIC = Earned Income Credit.
Not sure what you mean by "safe."  A computer program does not know if you are not being truthful.  TT does ask your marital status.

Turbo Tax is a self prepared return.  Turbo Tax doesn't know or check if you entered something wrong, especially your filing status.  It can only check calculations and obvious errors like if you entered the wrong SS tax in box 4 of your W2.

Why did you think it would be ok to file as Single if you were married?

[SweetieJean]

You said:  "We've been doing it like that cause we get a better return."  So that means you tried it different ways first, and then decided on a course of action.

Please consider using a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or EA (Enrolled Agent) rather than a seasonal storefront preparer like H&R Block to help you amend, etc. You need someone who can negotiate with the IRS and State on your behalf, since the interest and penalties could become high.
