The tax program correctly asks for this information because the information is required by the state of California.
Whether the person qualifies or not based on the income, the answer to the income question is required on Form 3532, which must accompany California returns with Head of Household status.
TurboTax will also ask other appropriate questions such as whether or not a child is a full-time student for this form as well - but the income question is asked because California requires the number to be transferred to the form.
