If you do not have a qualifying person as a dependent on your tax return you are not eligible for Head of Household.

Yes, if you have a qualifying dependent. Take a quick quiz,  Dependent or see  Publication 501 - Internal Revenue Service page 11. If you have already filed as a single, you can amend your return to claim the dependent and change filing status. 

 

Taxpayers can use the Should I file an amended return? to help determine if they should file an amended tax return.

 

Once your original return is accepted and the finances are settled, you can file an amended return.
