Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, if you are married, you cannot file Head Of Household unless you meet the requirement to be "considered unmarried" 

To file Head of Household, you must be unmarried or "considered unmarried" on the last day of the tax year. 

According to the IRS:

"To be considered unmarried at the end of a tax year, your spouse may not be a member of your household during the last 6 months of the tax year."

 

If you were Married, you may not have met the requirements of filing Head of Household for years past, or did you only recently get married?

 

You now have the choice of filing Married Filing Separately or have you both make the election to file Married Filing Jointly and treat your wife as a "resident for filing purposes". 

 

Making the election to file a joint return.
