You cannot file as Single but you may qualify to file as Head of Household if you meet the conditions:
Pay for more than half of the household expenses
Be considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year, and
You must have a qualifying child or dependent.
Please read this TurboTax article for more information.
Filing as Head of Household will result in less tax and more refund, as your income will fall in lower tax brackets and you will have a higher standard deduction.

No. If you are legally married your filing choices are to file married filing separately or married filing jointly.....OR---if you have lived apart for at least the last six months of 2025 and YOU have custody of the dependent children, you could file as Head of Household, and your spouse will still have to file MFS.
Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.

Actually you can file Head of Household. Enter your name and say married and filing separately and you didn't live together. Then when you enter a child it should automatically switch you to Head of Household. Which is about the same as Single.

Yes. Once you have paid, or e-filed, starting over isn’t possible, so you will need to make changes by editing each section individually.
The best way to start over is to create a new account. You can create it using the same email address, but with another user ID and password.
After you create the new account, click on the link below for instructions on how to clear and start over. Choose whether you are using the Online or Desktop version.
How do I clear and start over?

They have a 1098-T and that section is fine. The student box is unchecked on both page 1 of the 1040 and in Section EIC on line 4a. My other dependent's info is correct.

I have a 20year old daughter that in the months of November and December made some money from the TikTok creator fund. In total it was about $1900. She is a full time college student and the only other money she made during the year was from a summer job which was about 15K. She did not receive a 1099 from TikTok but I understand that we do need to account for this $1900 on her taxes. I guess my question would be, is it appropriate for me to just add that as Other Income and state it is from the TikTok Creator fund as the description? Or should I be doing this some other way. She doesn't really have any expenses with it, we pay her phone bill while she is in school and she did not purchase anything for this.

I have rented a condo to my son for the last 10 years at fair market value. We have gifted the entire property to him in 2025. Should I check the box that the property was sold or disposed of in 2025 or would I leave it blank since he is a related party?

I am putting in the correct numbers and know what my amount should be but the software is changing it to an incorrect number. I have made screenshots.

No. Five federal e-files is an IRS limit, not a TurboTax limit. If you have more than five returns you can file the additional ones by mail.

I am 66 and a retired US postal worker living in NYC. Recently received a 1099-R and trying to understand the option in my TurboTax where they ask where my distribution is from. Do I select the option of: Retirement distributions from: US Government (including military) New York State and City Education Certain public authorities NYC Variable Supplemental Funds (VSF) Certain annuity funds Other Pensions of New York State and Local Governments Retirement distributions from: New York State and City Education (optional retirement program) IRA rolled over from a former government pension Not eligible for exclusion for those over age 59 1/2 None of the above (select for deferred compensation 457 plans) This distribution is from my Thrift Savings Plan so I am unsure which of the above options I need to select for this.
