@ron_suokko You are posting to a thread that was about a different issue. We do not fully understand what you are trying to do. It seems you and another parent are both trying to amend your 2023 returns so that you can file as HOH for 2023---is that correct?
You cannot "choose" HOH as your filing status. If you enter your status as "single" or "married filing separately" and enter a qualifying dependent, then the software will ask a few more questions and offer you HOH as a filing status.
Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
We cannot see any of your information so we have no idea if you and the other parent live together with your child or If you live apart. It is important for you to understand that if all of you lived together as a family, then the child can be entered and claimed as a dependent on only ONE of your returns. The other person enters nothing about the child on their return.
