Background: I stayed and worked in OH state in 2023 while my wife lived in Maryland with our new baby. My question is: Can I file my tax return as " Married filing separate" and My wife file her return with the babe which is " head of household" for 2023? are there any requirements to do this for a married couple?
Many thanks!

If you never returned to Maryland once in the last six months of the year to see your wife and child, then you qualify for HOH ("Horrible Old Husband")

I think the courts have applied the 'intent to return' test.
Is this meant as a temporary situation and you "intend to return" to living with her? If so, I think HOH is not allowed.
