There is no option for head of household filing status in Turbo Tax. Instead there are qualifying questions that must be answered. You must be able to select single for your filing status. That is, unless you have been separated from your spouse for the last six months of the year. Then you will choose married filing separately.
You must meet the qualifications for filing as head of household. One of those, is to have a qualifying dependent. You must also have provided more than half of the household living expenses for you and the dependnt. Please view the Turbo Tax FAQ below, to ensure that you qualify for this filing status.

Once you have entered your dependents information, you will be prompted to answer two questions that will qualify or disqualify you for head of household filing status. The two questions are:
1. "Did a relative live in your home and help support your child?" If you answer yes to this question, then you must have had a higher income than that other person or you don't qualify for head of household.
2. "Did you pay more than half the cost to keep up your home in 2016?" If you can answer yes to this question, then you should qualify for head of household.
