RE: Filing Federal Income Taxes Form 1040 when married but living apart and supporting children in a home. Suggest use Head of Household and list each child for whom you provided more than 50% of support (U S citizens, living with you entire year, not married, not claimed by husband). Consider child credits if you qualify. Consider Earned Income Credit if you qualify. From someone who majored in accounting (but not CPA) and who has done taxes for over 40 years. If you live in a state that taxes income, be sure to get any state forms needed to take advantage of your status.
