I'm using TurboTax Home & Business Desktop for 2023 taxes. In April 2023, my son turned 19, so no longer a child dependent. However, he does meet all of the qualifying dependent requirements:
*They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
*They're a US citizen.
*They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
*They lived with you the entire year.
*They made less than $4,700 in 2023.
*You provided more than half of their financial support.
I answered all of TurboTax's questions regarding my son and the answers all met the qualifying requirements, but the software is forcing me to file status of SINGLE instead of HEAD of HOUSEHOLD. This does not seem correct to me, but TurboTax doesn't allow me to change it.
Why would I NOT be HOH in this situation? And if I should be HOH, how do I get the software to override this Single status?
And yes, I know I'm late. 🙂 Thank you for any help or answers you can provide.
