Your BF can be claimed as a dependent and you get the $500 non-refundable credit for other dependents, but he cannot possibly be a "qualifying dependent" for Head of Household filing status since he is not related to you by blood or marriage.  Sorry...you file as Single.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-filing-status/qualifying-person-head-household/L2TmgztNs_US_en_US  

Because your daughter is on an insurance plan that disqualifies her from having HSA contributions made on her behalf, the HSA contributions made by her employer are excess contributions subject to penalty unless timely corrected.  She has until the due date of her 2025 tax return, including extensions, to request and obtain a return of the excess contributions.   When her tax return is prepared in TurboTax, answer None as her full-year HDHP coverage.  When TurboTax indicates that the amount reported with code W in box 12 of her W-2 is entirely excess contributions, indicate that she will obtain a return of these excess contributions.  This amount will be included on Schedule 1 line 8f as taxable (because the employer excluded it from box 1 of her W-2).   She will receive a code-2 2026 Form 1099-SA that will be reportable on her 2026 tax return, adding any amount of taxable gains to her 2026 taxable income.   Failure to obtain a timely return of the excess contribution will result in a 6% excess-contribution penalty each year that the excess remains unresolved, and resolving it in a later year by an ordinary taxable distribution will result in double taxation and an early-distribution penalty.
