re: Still waiting on my return from 2013

Thank you sir very much. I will be sure to call them tomorrow.
I actually ended up owing the state because the only way I made it through 2013 was to take my 401k early ( I know, big no no) and only had them withhold the required 20% penalty plus 10% for federal tax.
I was able to make that last for a fair amount of time so I can try and get my life straightened out.

What was your marital status at the end of 2012? If you were married at the end of 2012, then you should have filed either married filing joint or married filing separate. Filing as head of household would have been incorrect. What type of return did your wife file for 2012?
Your status at the end of 2013 was married, so filing a joint return for 2013 should have been the correct status. For 2014, you can file as a qualifying widower (same outcome as married filing joint). In all likelihood your 2013 return has been processed by the IRS, and the amount of refund due has been determined. However, the IRS has likely put a hold on your refund until it determines your actual tax liability for 2012 since your filing status for 2012 may have been incorrect.
You might be able to accelerate resolution of the matter by filing an amended return for 2012 using married filing joint status.

I was married in 2012, but my wife didn't work. I made enough so that she could stay at home with our daughter. A work buddy of mines wife did my taxes for 2012 I have no idea what she did but I got a bunch of money back.

I'm pretty sure the real issue is your 2012 tax return. My recommendation is to take copies of your 2012 and 2013 returns to a couple of CPAs and ask them how much they would charge to help resolve the matter.

I missed the part where you said you filed HoH status in 2012. If you were living with your wife, and not in the extended process of a divorce, you can't do that. Poodlebrain is right.
However, I would have thought you would have received some notice regarding your 2012 return.
When you contact the IRS, ask them if the issue is related to your 2012 or 2013 return.
