Married couple one works full time the other part time. Who files as head of the household and husband only works part time?
Plus there are 2 toddlers both ours?

Your husband will automatically be head of household - the government still likes to think the man rules the roost. Doesn't matter really who makes what. It doesn't really make a difference anyway when you get your return.

The W-4 is what the employer uses to set withholding from tables. On the reverse of the W-4 is a section for two wage earner households; fill out one for each to determine withholding.

If you are married and you live together, neither of you is "Head of Household".
As a general rule of thumb, the spouse with the lower income should claim "0" but, as with everything, there are exceptions.
