Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My advice would be to keep the Single with zero allowances on your W-4.  

 

Unless you have a 'qualifying person' on your return, you would not be able to use the Head of Household filing status when the time comes to file your 2020 tax return.  As a result, using that filing status on your W-4 may lead to not having enough taxes withheld.

 

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information about the Head of Household filing status:  What is a "qualifying person" for Head of Household?
