I am legally married, but I have not lived with my legal husband as we are separated (no documents processed as legal separation) but cannot afford a divorce. We have not been living together since 2019.
I already did our taxes as married jointly because I thought it was mandatory (and my legal husband gave me a hard time about this) so I am wondering if I can amend so I can claim as Head of Household instead. If this is legal, will I need to provide any documentation as proof of us not living together or anything else? If so, what type of proof will I need to provide? How does this all work?
And IF I CAN amend, what does my legal husband have to do on his end for HIS taxes?
