No, you cannot file as the head of household on your yearly taxes if you are married. That is an option only available to single or widowed filers.
if me and my husband both have a residence and we are married can we both file head of household?

Are you still legally married? Do you live with him in Jordan? If you no longer live as a married couple and you have not resided with him for at least the last six months of the tax year them you can file as a Single person and if you have dependent children you can file Head of Household.

You would get a bigger tax deduction break if you file head of household.
If your child lived with you but you did not claim it as a dependent you can still file head of household. You have to list the child's name and social security number on your return.
The difference between filing single and head of household is the type of situation the tax filer has. Filing head of household can lead to a lesser tax paid for the year. If a person is single, but has dependents, it is better to file head of household. If a person is single with no dependents, a person should file as single.
You can file as married filing separately, but not as single. If you have a child or children living with you and your spouse did not live with you for the last 6 months of the year, it is possible to file as head of household, but please check closely additional requirements to file as head of household.
Yes. If a person has been living permanently apart from their spouse for at least the last 6 months of the year and they are supporting children living in the home, they may qualify to file as head of household. The other spouse may still be required to file as married filing separately.

If you file head of household, you get back around $ 4,000.
