TT多次提過離婚後，兩個人都可以用head of household來報稅，這樣對dual income能省不少稅。
這個辦法好是好，不過我不敢試。我倒不是真的害怕人言可畏，衛道士會指責我把神聖的婚姻當兒戲。在我看來愛情應該是可以超越世俗的法律這些形式上的東西。
其實我怕的是有人乘虛而入。這裏我不得不BSO一下，我老公雖然有點nerdy，不太愛說話，更是從來不和女生胡說八道。但不知道為什麽喜歡他的女生不少。雖然他自己沒感覺出來，我在旁邊能冷眼看出來。咱可不能因小失大。
我經過研究發現，要想claim head of household,其實並不需要離婚，也不需要separated，隻要夫妻維持兩個home就行。
HOH filing的定義是：
•You are unmarried or "considered unmarried" on the last day of the year.
•You paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
•A "qualifying person" lived with you in the home for more than half the year (except for temporary absences, such as school). However, if the "qualifying person" is your dependent parent, he or she does not have to live with you.
"considered unmarried"的定義是：
You are "considered unmarried" for tax purposes if on the last of the year you are:
•unmarried,
•legally separated from your spouse under a divorce or separate maintenance decree, or
•married but lived apart from your spouse for at least the last six months of the year.
State law governs whether you are married or legally separated under a divorce or separate maintenance decree. For federal tax purposes, domestic partners are considered unmarried.
我在想如果我另外買或租一個房子，是不是可以帶一個孩子用HOH報稅。因為我確實paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
我老公帶另一個孩子也可以用HOH報稅，因為他也paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
哪個稅法大拿看看可不可行？我有一些朋友夫妻倆在不同的地方工作，隻有周末住一起。對於他們來說，應該合情合理地可以倆個人都用HOH報稅。
