    I get this message:

    Form 1040-X: This return FS : Form 1040-X cannot be filed electronically if there is a change in filing status.

    And have to select an option 'Amend head of household FS'

    You will need to print and mail your amended return.  The error is telling you that you cannot switch to Head of Household and e-file.
