Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you file a joint return you do not enter VA benefits he receives since they are not taxable, but his SSA1099 for Social Security must be entered----and even if you file separately, then he would have to file MFS also and enter the SSA1099 on his own return--just not the VA benefits.
You cannot file as HOH if you have lived together all year. Your filing choices are marred filing separately or married filing jointly. As VolvoGirl suggested, you could file a joint return and include the injured spouse form to protect your part of the refund. That form will delay processing.
