You cannot file as Single. if you were married as of 12/31/25, your choices are Married filing separately (MFS) or Married filing jointly (MFJ). What's my tax filing status (single, married, or other)?
You can file as Head of Household if you’re unmarried and have a qualifying dependent child or relative. If you’re married and have a qualifying dependent, you may qualify to file Head of Household if you meet these conditions. TurboTax will ask the necessary questions and automatically apply this status if you qualify - you do not have to choose the option, just answer the questions.
