It depends. If you live in separate residences and each have qualifying dependents to claim, it is theoretically possible for both of you to claim Head of Household. But more typical is that your spouse must file Married Filing Separately. Your spouse can only use the status of Single if you are either divorced or have a legal separation, not just living apart.

By the way MFS is Married Filing Separate ---NOT Separated.
