I confirmed with the publication that a married person can file HOH. Here is a follow up question. When a person answers the marriage question in Turbotax, (Single, Married, Divorced, Legally Separated, Widowed) what's the best choice, Single? If you check Married, Turbotax will not allow you to file HOH even with a qualifying child. I think this is a problem?
I thought Turbotax should know that a person is considered Unmarried if he/she answered they did not live together for the last six months of a year and passed supporting tests. Otherwise, why go through all these questions.
Turbotax probably followed IRS's HOH test: IRS's first question is "are you married". As soon as you answer married, you can't file HOH.
So a person has to answer Single, or legally separated or ... but not Married in Turbotax in order to file HOH than reply on Turbotax to decide the filling status for you?
Thank you.
