I'm not sure what you mean by your "text by status." Do you mean the filing status on your federal tax return? (Proofread your message before you post.)

Did you already file the tax return? If not, in TurboTax Online you can go back through the My Info section to change the filing status.

If you already filed, and your tax return was accepted, whether you can change the filing status depends on what the filing status was on the tax return that you filed. If it was married filing jointly you cannot change it after April 15. If your filed tax return was any other filing status you can file an amended return to change the filing status. Do not file an amended return until your original return has been processed and you have received the refund.

(If you filed as married filing jointly and your joint tax return is invalid because you were not actually married as of December 31, there is a complicated procedure to correct the filing status. But to do that you will need to use a tax professional who is familiar with the procedure.)

If you need further help, tell us what the filing status is on the tax return that you filed, and why you want to change it to single.
