@ngradiz86 Please read ALL of the information in this thread from the very top of the page. If you have lived apart for at least the last six months of the tax year AND the children live with you, you might be able to file as head of household. If the children do not live with you, then you could only file married filing separately. When you file MFS, you do NOT get some of the child-related credits, and some of your other deductions are limited as well. The IRS cares about physical custody of the children. Where are the children living?
