Question

My husband and I seperated before December 30, 2020. He filed his taxes and claimed head of household and claim.ed all our kids. So I filed mine as single.

He claimed me every year as dependent prior. Now I've started the amend process.

He could never have claimed you as a dependent.  A spouse is never a dependent.  He probably filed a Joint return.  If you were not divorced by Dec 31 you can only file as Joint of as Married filing Separate.  Is that why you are amending to change from Single to MFS?

 

When did you separate?  He can only file Head of Household if you lived apart for the last 6 months of the year.
