Head of household, for lack of an easier definition, is a single parent. It does not refer to the person who makes more money on the tax return. It does not matter who is listed first as long as you are consistent from year to year. You, if you are married, would choose married filing jointly.
If you can't change the names via the edit process, you can just start a new return as long as you choose a different user name.
Follow these steps:
-
Open (continue) your tax
return.
(To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange Take
me to my return button.)
- Click the Personal
Info Tab
- Click Edit by your Name (or Your
Spouse's Name)
See if that helps.
If not, as long as you haven't paid or
registered yet, here's how to Clear
& Start Over:
- Sign in to TurboTax Online
and open your return by clicking the orange Take me to
my return button.
- From the My Account dropdown menu,
select Clear & Start Over.
- Answer Yes to Are you
sure you want to clear your return?
- After your entries have been
cleared out, we'll prompt you to select a TurboTax product so you can
start over from the very beginning.
- If you're signed in under
last year's login, we'll automatically transfer last year's info over if
you select the PLUS upgrade, Deluxe, Premier, or Self-Employed. Federal
Free Edition (without PLUS) does not include the year-over-year transfer
feature
