Deductions & credits
Sounds like there is conflicting information in the "My Info" section of the software. Also, why are you showing this person on the return as a dependent? Is it just to claim HOH status without claiming as a dependent? If so, go back into the "My Info" or personal information section, depending on the software and review the questions about the person you are claiming on your return.
What is qualifying child for head of household?
The child must have lived within your home for more than six months during the tax year. The child needs to be younger than you. As of the end of the tax year, the child must be under 19 if he is not a student, or under 24 if he is a full-time college student.
Revisit and answer the questions about this child carefully. Either the child is a dependent or a Qualifying child for the HOH status.
