File an amended income tax return to change your filing status. See How do I amend my 2020 return?

 

Some married persons can file as head of household. Here are the requirements:

  1. You file a separate return. A separate return includes a return claiming married filing separately, single, or head of household filing status.

  2. You paid more than half the cost of keeping up your home for the tax year.

  3. Your spouse didn't live in your home during the last 6 months of the tax year.

  4. Your home was the main home of your child, stepchild, or foster child for more than half the year.

  5. You must be able to claim the child as a dependent. However, you meet this test if you can't claim the child as a dependent only because you allowed the noncustodial parent to claim the child.
