Filing status I should be able to file as head of household my spouse lives in Mexico and we are legally married, however she does not have a social security number

I want to file as head of household, however turbo tax isn't placing me in this status after asking me questions

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Head of household requires that you live apart from your spouse AND that you provide care in your home for a qualifying person, usually a child dependent.  You must not have a qualifying person.  In that case you can either file as married filing separately, or you can elect to treat your spouse as a US resident for tax purposes and file jointly, but this means they must report and pay US tax on their non-US income.
