| I know that you cannot amend your tax return from MFJ to MFS, but I don't see anywhere that you can't amend from MFJ to HOH, if you qualify for the HOH status and all the conditions are met to qualify you for that status. No need to go into all the details, and let's all assume that the conditions HAVE been met for HOH (yes, even if still married). Has anyone ever done this before? | |
