Hi Suss&Camm,
i'm sorry to bother you.
Given your experience, would you advise that we go ahead and submit our AOS & IV package ? My husband filed his taxes the past 6yrs as HOH. Married July 2016, and he meets the 5 that you've posted from Turbotax (Copied below).
Any suggestions or encouragements? Please and thank you!
- You won't be filing jointly with your spouse; and
- Your spouse didn't live in your home after June (temporary absences due to illness, school, vacation, business, or military service don't count); and
- Your home was your child's, stepchild's, or foster child's main home for more than half the year; and
- You paid more than half the costs of keeping up your home during the tax year; and
- You meet the qualifications to claim the child as your dependent, even if the other (noncustodial) parent is actually claiming the child as a dependent on their return.

Hi!
Filing taxes as married is just one way to show evidence of co-mingling of finances for evidence of a bona fide marriage. It's fine for him to have filed as HOH as long as it is legal (as you say, he fulfills the criteria). There are other ways you as a couple can show such evidence. Focus on the evidence you do have and you should be fine. Get it filed! the wait will be looonngg - Show next comments 3 more
