We did live apart for the last 6 month of the year and my spouse took care of the two kids. In this case, based on the IRS website, my spouse can certainly file head of household.

Now my questions are:
1. What's my filing status? Married filing separately?
2. If mine is MFS and hers is HOH, do we have to both itemize or standardize deduction, which is required by IRS for two MFS; or my spouse can standardize deduction and I itemize deduction?
