Were you divorced as of December 31? If not, then you would still need to file as married filing separately unless you lived apart from your spouse for the entire last 6 months of the year. If you did live apart for the entire last 6 months of the year and you have a dependent, you will need to walk through the questions in TurboTax and answer them accurately. Once you tell TurboTax that you are divorced and then continue on to answer the questions about your son, it will give you the status of Head of Household as long as you qualify.
It will not do this until you enter all of your sons information as a dependent.
