At your daughter's age, she must be a full-time student to be a qualifying child for you to claim Head of Household. 

 

Revisit the entry in the "My Info, Your household" section. Make sure all the interview screens have been completed accurately: 

 

  • Navigate to My Info, Your household, select your daughter
  • Choose "My child", continue and be sure her name, date of birth and proper citizenship is complete. 
  • Continue, and answer the question about living arrangements and parents. 
  • Continue, and answer any less common situations. Here, make sure "was a full-time student in 2024" is checked.
  • Lastly, enter the child's SSN and be sure that "Not valid for employment is printed..." is NOT checked.
