Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To file as head of household, you must:

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

Revisit the questions in the Personal profile (TurboTax Online) or Personal Info (TurboTax Desktop) section by selecting Edit next to your name, your dependent and your filing Status to review/answer any questions. 

TurboTax will let you know if your situation qualifies for Head of Household. If you are trying to select a different filing status than what is recommended, you need to check the box Change my filing status when reviewing your filing status.
