She is not my ex-spouse, we are still married. I'm a citizen living in the U.S. while my partner is a nonresident alien living abroad. She is not filing her taxes for the U.S. this year. We received the total advanced CTC payments in the same bank account.
I'm filing as head of household as an unmarried person only for head of household purposes. From the IRS website: "If you are a U.S. citizen married to an individual who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 7701(b)(4), also referred to as a “nonresident”, you may qualify to use the head of household tax rates. You are considered unmarried for head of household purposes if your spouse was a nonresident at any time during the year and you do not choose to treat your nonresident as a resident."
Should I still only enter the ACTC amount on my individual letter even if my spouse is not filing her taxes this year?
