You may qualify for Head of Household. If TurboTax selected Head of Household automatically, it means your entries indicate you meet the basic requirements.
Because your divorce was finalized in December 2025, you are considered unmarried for the 2025 tax year. You aren't required to file Single just because your ex is filing Head of Household. Each of you qualifies separately based on your own household information.
If you paid more than half the cost of keeping up your home and a qualifying child (including a full-time college student under 24) lived with you more than half the year, you may qualify for this status.
