Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi billypilgram2, your situation does qualify for head of household status. The information below is from a turbo tax article. I will attach full article to this reply

 

You can file as head-of-household even if you’re married but if you have a spouse, it’s likely more beneficial tax-wise to file jointly. However, if you are filing separately, you can claim head-of-household status if you meet these three criteria:

  • Your spouse did not live with you for the last six months of the year.
  • You provided the main home of the qualifying child and paid for more than half the home costs.
  • You are claiming your child as a dependent.
