If I don't work can we file with my husband as head of household?

[AnnaB · Accepted solution]

No, if you are married and you lived together during the tax year, then your options are married filing jointly and married filing separately.  You can still file a joint return even if one spouse does not work.  This is more beneficial than a Head of Household filing status as it allows for the married tax brackets as well as a higher married standard deduction.

We filed together last year, but I want to file alone.
