No doubt! I do wonder what JRMayne would say about cases like yours, though. To me it seems obvious that you did nothing wrong in those previous years.
(nods) I think even by the government’s standards, I didn’t actually do anything wrong. Come to that, I’m not sure I was even lying, technically speaking, as I’m not sure if filing single-head-of-household is technically asserting that I’m unmarried in the first place. It just felt like it.
Assuming it is asserting that you’re not married, it’s asserting that you’re not married by the Federal tax definition. You weren’t, so it’s not a lie.
