Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You will need to enter the data about your non-dependent qualifying person (your grand-daughter) for the program to allow selection of Head of Household.  The IRS requires listing the "qualifying person" for HoH status on returns currently. 

 

You will enter her in the area for dependents and in the follow-up questions be sure to indicate that someone else (her mother) provides more than half of her support.  You will answer that you provide "more than half of the cost of keeping the home."
