trying to see if i could use the special rule to file head of household for which i am married filing separately. my spouse filed standard deduction and i need to itemize. i have an dependent and a home., and charity contribution. what do i file?
You might be able to file Head of Household if you lived apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of the year. Then it won't matter which deduction you take. Otherwise you file as Joint or Married filing Separate. If you itemize then your spouse must itemize also.
Do you qualify for Head of Household?
