TT多次提过离婚后，两个人都可以用head of household来报税，这样对dual income能省不少税。
这个办法好是好，不过我不敢试。我倒不是真的害怕人言可畏，卫道士会指责我把神圣的婚姻当儿戏。在我看来爱情应该是可以超越世俗的法律这些形式上的东西。
其实我怕的是有人乘虚而入。这里我不得不BSO一下，我老公虽然有点nerdy，不太爱说话，更是从来不和女生胡说八道。但不知道为什么喜欢他的女生不少。虽然他自己没感觉出来，我在旁边能冷眼看出来。咱可不能因小失大。
我经过研究发现，要想claim head of household,其实并不需要离婚，也不需要separated，只要夫妻维持两个home就行。
HOH filing的定义是：
•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"的定义是：
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.
我在想如果我另外买或租一个房子，是不是可以带一个孩子用HOH报税。因为我确实paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
我老公带另一个孩子也可以用HOH报税，因为他也paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for the year.
哪个税法大拿看看可不可行？我有一些朋友夫妻俩在不同的地方工作，只有周末住一起。对于他们来说，应该合情合理地可以俩个人都用HOH报税。
