If no one can claim you, or no one can claim head of household, meaning that you were the major source of income in the household (you and your children fall under this umbrella) and you have at least one dependent, you can claim head of household, which will give you a bigger tax break.
Look at the IRS.GOV site you may be able to file online for free as well and it has pages that will help you determine what to file.
I claim head of household, I am also a single mother of two.

File as Head of Household. Also claim the EIC if qualified and the childcare credit. Use Turbo Tax Online and if you make below a certain level it is free or reduced.

So it fairly is probable extra useful which you are able to do issues wisely from the start. P.S. There are government classes to help human beings that are suffering financially to pay off their pupil loans. that's fairly useful to to do slightly learn how to be sure if between the classes might show you how to.
