Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To file as head of household, you must:

• Pay for more than half of the household expenses
• Be considered unmarried for the tax year, and
• You must have a qualifying child or dependent.

If you already filed your return, you need to amend it to change your filing status:

Wait until the IRS either accepts or rejects your return. 

If the IRS rejects the return you can claim the deduction in the Deductions and Credits section and re-submit your return. 

If the IRS accepts the return, wait until the return has been fully processed and then amend the return.

To amend your 2020 return:

1.Log in to your account.

2.Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show),

   select 2020 and then Amend (change) return.

3.Select Amend using TurboTax Online.

4 Follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.

5.You can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail.

To change your filing status, return to the My Info section of the program then on the Personal Info Summary page, click on the pencil next to your status.
