If you are filing as Head of Household you need to have a dependent who lived with you over half the year, and your home was in the US for over half the year. Check your Filing Status and your Dependent Info in the Personal Info section. Here's more info on Filing as Head of Household.

If this is not what you are referring to, please give more details and we'll try to help.
