Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks - yes they do meet the criteria for a dependent for Federal taxes. I guess my confusion is really with California state income taxes. I can't imagine  that you can file Head of Household for Federal but then have to file as a different status for state but it looks like you do in this instance where the child has earned over $4700. Anybody else ever encounter this? Thx
