Question regarding head of household

Hi,

 

I am hoping someone on here will have the answer. I split up with my husband three years ago but we are not divorced yet. He does not live with me. The children do. Because of this I qualify for head of household when filing taxes.  I have done this the past two years through TurboTax and had no issue.  

This year, I was getting ready to file and was checking over my paperwork before sending it through and noticed that my estranged husband‘s Social Security number is listed under spouses Social Security on the first page of my taxes. His name is not . The past two years, TurboTax did not put his Social Security number (or any other information) there.

I am not sure if it is OK that his Social Security number is there and I don’t want to have any issues with my taxes.  Is it OK to send it through like this or is that an issue?  If it’s an issue, is there a way to remove it and still efile?


Thanks so much,

Laura
