Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The links in the posts that relate to Head of Household filing status are very helpful.  Review those carefully and if you meet the requirements of HoH, then it appears there is nothing to change on your return.  However, if you feel that you must file as Single, rather than HoH, then before amending your return you will need to wait until such return has been accepted by the IRS.  You can amend a return only after it has been filed and accepted by the IRS.  E-filed returns are considered filed when you have received notice from the government that your return has been accepted.  If your return has been rejected, it is not considered filed.

 

Mailed returns are considered filed the date you post your return.

 

When you are ready to amend--assuming you need to amend--you can access your previously filed return, in TurboTax online, from the TurboTax home page.  Scroll down the screen to the section Your tax return & documents.  If you have used TurboTax CD/download, then you can amend your previously filed return by selecting Other Tax Situations, and then scroll down to Other Tax Forms
