is it ok if I file tax return as Head of Household while I am married and my spouse is non-US resident.

the only thing I worry about if i file tax return jointly with my oversea wife is it might takes long time to get passport back. thanks

Read it from the IRS. They explain if you qualify for HOH  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/us-citizens-and-resident-aliens-abroad-head-of-household

 

You don't have to file jointly.
