How do I file my tax return while I am waiting for my divorce?
Your filing status is determined by the last day of the tax year. If you're not divorced under a final decree by the last day of the year, then you're considered still married. Your choice is either be Married Filing Jointly or be Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Separately generally has a higher tax rate than Married Filing Jointly. If you have any dependents, you might be able to file as Head of Household. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information).

Is better filing jointly with a spouse or separately?
If you are married, you can legally on file in two ways, Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separate. Married Filing Separate excluded you from getting any tax credits and you only get half of the Standard Exemption. I have never seen a case where Married Filing Separately was better. Married Filing Separately also requires you to include your spouses social security number on your return. If you are married but legally separated for at least the last six months of the calendar year you can file as if you are not married. This means you can file as Single, Married Filing Separately, or Head of Household.

How can i claim my husband as a dependent?
You don't claim a spouse as a dependent. If you are married you have only two option to legally file your taxes. These are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Jointly is where you file together and you don't file a spouse as a dependent but you still receive all benefits as if they were a dependent. You will get a higher Standard Deduction and get two exemptions plus any other dependents you may have. Married Filing Separately requires both of you to file the same way and each has to enter the other spouses social security number on their return. You can't file the spouse as a dependent this way.
What is the difference between filing Head of Household and filing married filing separately?
Married Filing Separately is somewhat penalized as you get the single Standard Deduction and you are disqualified from getting any most tax credits like Earned Income Credit and the Child Tax Credit. However, if you are married on December 31st of the tax year, you are required to file either Married Filing Joint or Married Filing Separately. The only exception to this is if you are legally separated by a Court Judge and have been for the last half of the tax year or more.
