It depends. You may still qualify for Head of Household. The status does not break down expenses into time period. It looks at the year as a whole: You paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
You would need to compare every dollar you put into the cost of maintenance vs every dollar paid by any other person.The items considered are
Property taxes
Mortgage interest expense
Rent
Utility charges
Repairs/maintenance
Property insurance
Food eaten in the home
Other household expenses
If you do not qualify, then you are Married Filing Separately if you are not divorced or single.
