Would you please tell me whether I can file tax return as 'House of head' when my wife is a housewife living with me but she does not have SSN/ITIN and income? I actually filed my tax return like this for more than 3 years using Turbotax online, do I need to correct my previous tax return forms? Thanks.
No, you cannot file Head of Household given the details of your living situation.
Yes, you will need to amend.
You also have the option of making an election to file jointly.
This would allow you to claim the higher Married Filing Jointly Standard Deduction compared to filing Married Filing Separately.
You can make the election on an amended return.
Your spouse would not qualify you to file Head of Household and if you do not live apart, that also would not qualify you.
