If you qualify as head of household and your answers to the TurboTax interview questions confirm that you qualify, the program will record the correct status. Go back to the Personal Info tab of TurboTax and click Edit next to Your Filing Status.

A screen will appear, "Review Your Filing Status". See screenshot:

Check the box next to "Change my filing status". TurboTax will reopen the interview so that you can review your answers to the questions.

In order to use head of household filing status, you must meet certain criteria. To file as head of household, you must:

Pay for more than half of the household expenses
Be considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year, and
You must have a qualifying child or dependent.

This tax filing status includes single parents and divorced or legally separated parents with custody of the child. Further, you can also be an adult who provides support for a parent or other relative under qualifying circumstances.
