Why does the TurboTax Software does not have the full line of qualified dependents as accepted by IRS on the drop=down menu. Single is default when it should be HOH.
Default is "SINGLE" when "OTHER" is picked because the software does not list "SISTER-IN-LAW". This is wrong. I have a "SISTER-IN-LAW" I support for years due to an accident and I cannot claim her as a dependent. She does not work nor have insurance. I had to file a 1040X for 2019. I am waiting until they finish processing my 2020 so I can amend my 2020 for HOH.
I should be able to be "Head of Household" with a qualifying IRS dependent. Selecting, "OTHER" and answering all the questions still defaults to "SINGLE" which is not correct. It disallows me picking "HOH" and now I have had to amend for 2 years. 2019 & 2020 as mentioned pending the processing of my taxes which are still in limbo and I used TT & were accepted 2/11.
