Wrong.  Only one person can claim a dependent.  California basically follows same rule as the federal government on qualifications for claiming a dependent.

Please see the information below for determining who can claim the dependent.

RULES FOR CLAIMING DEPENDENT

Thank you so much for confirming my thought! I'm going to just not add a dependent on my CA return.

The question is asked because CA does allow you to claim someone who could be a dependent on your federal return, but you elect not to claim them so that they may get an education credit by filing their own return.  This does not appear to be your situation. 

Yes you are correct that is not my situation. Now that I think about it is there a way to stop turbotax from giving me this deduction because I am filing head of house hold (HOH) and I believe it would look odd to have a tax return with no dependent listed, but i'm filing HOH.

It doesn’t necessarily look odd to claim Head of Household without a dependent.  People do it legitimately all the time, in situations such as yours.

However, if you do decide to change your filing status then, with TurboTax Online open, go to

1. Tax Home, then
2. Personal Info (you may need to click Continue or Review/Edit), then,
3. To the right of your current filing status, click Edit.  This will give you the opportunity to update your filing status.
