Enter your daughters and continue through the screens. TurboTax will determine whether you qualify or not and give you the option of selecting that filing status.

To file as head of household, you must: 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.

Next, for your daughters to be considered a qualifying child or dependent, they have to fall under these categories. See here;
