BUG: TTax 2022 not letting me select HOH even though I meet the criteria

I entered how I supported my child for 10 months last year and TTAX is not allowing me to claim HOH.  Situation A pasted below applies to me yet TTAX states "the person you already entered will not quailfy you for the head of household status" this looks like a bug.,
