Can’t change my filing from single to head of household

Do you have a qualifying child or Dependent? If you entered a dependent it would have automatically switched you to Head of Household if you qualify. Go back to My Info and check all your answers for your dependent.


You need to be Single or file as Married filing Separate and have a qualifying dependent. If you are married you need to live apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of the year.


Do you qualify for Head of Household?

I qualify for head of household, and it will not let me file that way.

Then go back to  My Info and check all  your answers for you and your dependents.  Try deleting the Dependent and re enter them.
