It depends. Did you live in the same household at all after June 30th, 2024? If not, and your kids live with you and are qualifying children and you pay more than half of the cost to maintain the home, then yes, you can file as head of household.

 

If your husband lived with you at all during the last 6 months of 2024, then you cannot file as head of household.
