If someone filed my husband(he has a disability), can I file head of household with my two children? Just married in October.

As you are married, you cannot file Head of Household.

Your only options are Married filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately.

There are conditions to satisfy in order to file as Head of household. You must:

Pay for more than half of the household expenses
Be considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year, and
You must have a qualifying child or dependent.

Please read this TurboTax article for more information.

What? What family member claimed your spouse as a dependent? And why? Does your spouse live with you? Did that family member support your spouse? Please provide some details----this sounds "off."
