Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.

I used the Turbo Tax free edition. I filed on April 14th and again on October 23. Both times my federal and state were rejected. When I try to download the tax form I get an error that any of my systems do not support .tax file. Shouldn't it be in PDF form? Can I get a real person to assist me?

Did you e-file your tax return and was it accepted? Only the IRS and your State control when and if a Federal or State tax refund is Approved and Issued.
You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large button labeled "Transmit my returns now".
After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.
Note - Once a tax return has been Accepted by the IRS or a State, TurboTax receives no further information concerning the tax return or the status of any tax refund. Only the taxpayer listed on the tax return can obtain the status of a tax refund or a tax return.
To check the status of an e-filed return, open up your desktop product or log into your TurboTax Online Account. You can find your status within the TurboTax product. If accepted by the IRS use the federal tax refund website to check the refund status - https://www.irs.gov/refunds
If accepted by the state use this TurboTax support FAQ to check the state tax refund status - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-refund/track-state-refund/L3jgO8PGs_...
After the tax return has been Accepted by the IRS (meaning only that they received the return) it will be in the Processing mode until the tax refund has been Approved and then an Issue Date will be available on the IRS website.

E-filing is not open yet for 2025 returns. The IRS will not begin to accept returns until late January.
If you are hoping for a quick refund by filing as early as possible, you might be making a mistake that will have you waiting for your refund for months.
Users who rush to file early often end up under review or file with mistakes that require them to amend later. Employers have until the end of January to issue W-2’s. Some 1099’s that you need do not become available until sometime in February. If you file your return without the tax documents, you are filing an incorrect tax return. If you file before the IRS is accepting returns, your return just sits on a server, where you will be powerless to fix any mistakes you discover after you file. No changes can be made when your return is pending on a server. And….every year…..Every. Year. …..we get users who want to know how to fix their incorrect e-filed returns that are sitting on the server.

The person who pays more than half the household expenses. It must be more than half--even just $1 more than half--but if it is exactly half, then no one gets to claim HOH because no one pays more than half.
Your BF would qualify on the basis of his other two children. Only he can claim those two children. You could qualify on the basis of your shared child, if you claim your shared child, but only one of you can claim that shared child and the other can't.
So you have several options. BF claims A and B and files HOH, you claim C and file single. BF claims A, B and C and files HOH and you claim no children and file single. BF claims A and B and files single, you claim C and file HOH. We can't tell you which is best, it depends on things like eligibility for EIC, how much work income you have, and other factors. You may want to try several test scenarios before deciding how to file.
One important note is that, whoever claims the shared child should answer they had custody all year and there is NO custody agreement to share custody, and the other parent should not even list the child on their return. The questions about custody agreements only apply to parents who live apart and share custody, and are not the right questions to ask unmarried parents who live together.

I have been using TTax for many years. In the last few years, the desktop version of the software (Premier) has been increasingly problematic, especially in the timeliness of the release of forms (in my case, 8949). The IRS posted this form in mid-December, but it is still unavailable after TTax update today.

I assume his children live with him more than half the year. In that case you can agree on which of you has contributed a dollar more to the household and can then file head of household. The other files as single. If you like the other of you could file head of household on alternate years.
