Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Q. With these circumstances, do I file as the head of my household on my tax form or as a dependent on my parent's tax form?

A. Neither.

 

You file your own tax return, using the  filing status of SINGLE.  You do NOT check the box on your form 1040 that says Someone can  claim you as a dependent.  

 

TurboTax does all that automatically, after you enter your information and income and answer the questions in the interview.
