I live in Texas. My wife and I separated last year for the remaining 8 months of 2021. Living in separate homes.
We are not legally divorced yet as of now. I know in most states you can claim Head of Household if you are not divorced but are legally separated for the last 6 months of the year. I do have a dependent by the way.
In Texas I see that there is no law concerning legally separated, you can only be divorced. So I'm assuming that I will have to file "Married filling Sperate". Is this correct? This makes a big difference in how much taxes are owed.
