I would ask your tax professional, but file your taxes as married with the appropriate dependents.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Are you asking for a future 2012 tax return that you and your husband are going to file next year?

Married people either file as "married filing jointly" or "married filing separately." It doesn't matter if only one spouse is employed/has income. You and your husband will file as married filing jointly. Nonworking female spouses usually just put in "unemployed" or "homemaker" as occupation on their tax returns. Why file as "head of household"? Even assuming that he can file as HH, it's not monetarily advantageous since the standard deduction for "married filing jointly" is higher than the standard deduction for HH.

I don't know if an incorrect filing status will affect your I-751 application. Probably not but the USCIS officer who looks over your papers would probably wonder why your husband filed HH when you two are married.

Even when i wasn't working my husband and i always filed joint. The USCIS does take notice.
