No. If you were not legally married as of 12/31/2025 you will have to file as Single.

No. The filing status choice will be Single unless you qualify for Head of Household.

Who qualified for Head of Household filing status?

If your divorce was final during the year you are now Single or possibly Head of Household if you have a dependent. If you used Turbo Tax last year you should start a brand new account for yourself and not transfer from last year. You can not remove a spouse, especially if they are the first one listed on your return. Online is only good for 1 return. Start another Online return here. Sign up and start a new account.
