Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

My return has been filed and accepted by irs but need to change my filing status from single to head of household. I don't see that option when filing an amended return.

The only thing it lets me do online is change my marital filing status but there's no option for head of household.

Did you enter a qualifying dependent on your tax return?  If not, you are not eligible for head of household

Do you have a qualified dependent?  If so ---- the software would have offered HOH as a filing status when you entered your Single filing status and entered your dependent.

 

 

Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.

 

You should wait for the IRS to finish processing your accepted return before you send in an amended return.
