I'm divorced with two kids. Per my divorce agreement with my ex-spouse we alternate who has custody of our two children for >50% of the time and therefore can claim "Head of Household" filing status. This year is not my year, so I need to file as "single." However, because I own my home and I am claiming one of our children as my dependent (also per our agreement) Turbo Tax keeps telling me that Head of Household is the best filing status. I totally agree, but per IRS rules both parents cannot claim HoH status in the same year. Every time I try to edit my filing status the software asks me the same series of questions and tells me that I should file as Head of Household. How do I change my status manually to "single?" Thanks!
