Yes, I am struggling with that too - federally qualified dependent child (student, under 24, more than half support provided by me) with earned income over $4,700. California denies HoH status and demands change in federal status, too. Tried in both TurboTax and Freetaxusa. TurboTax denies it upfront, when enetering dependent information. Freetaxusa denies it at the State return portion. Can't claim two separate HoH statuses - one for Federal and one for state. Should I be filing paper returns??
