    Can I refile my taxes from Married to married filing separtly
    Hi
    My husband owes taxes and we have been filing taxes Married/Jointly. But Since he owes we won't get the rebate. After I filed our 2007 taxes (I did myself) I wondered if I could have filed Married/filing separately Can I go back and refile again with Married/filing separately. We have kids. So should I put all the kids under me. And who has head of household?

    Thanks for any input

    Once you files a joint return you can not amend your return to a separate return.

    According to the IRS only the custodial parent can claim the kids. If both had equal custody of the kids, then there are guidelines. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: Child of separated or divorced parents
