Have you already filed the 2022 tax return? If so, you have to wait for the return to either be accepted or rejected.

If you did not enter a dependent on your tax return you cannot have Head of Household filing status.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for head of household - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-filing-status/qualify-head-household-2021/L0NxUtVc2_US_en_US

Did you already e-file? You cannot change anything right now if you filed already. Why are you asking to "amend"??

If you e-filed, you have to wait until your return is accepted or rejected. If accepted, you have to wait for it to be fully processed before you can amend. If rejected, you can make changes and re-file.

As for changing to Head of Household-----you must have qualified dependents to file as HOH, and you have to be unmarried or live apart from your spouse for at least the last six months of 2022.

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.
