Since you're married, neither of you can file head of household. You can file a joint return, or you and your new husband can each file married filing separately. Joint will almost always save you taxes over filing separately.
If your joint income is eligible for EIC, and you file joint, then you'll get it. If you file separately, you will not be eligible for EIC.
Look for a VITA or TCE site near you - they'll do your taxes at no charge. You can get more info about these programs at irs.gov.
