Filing separately after a divorce

[xmasbaby0]

If you were divorced by the end of 2017, then your filing status for your 2017 tax return is Single or head of household wifi you are the one who has the children,   You marital status is determined by whatever it was on December 31, 2017.

Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your filing status (single or married filing separately) into Personal Info, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.

If you previously used a TurboTax account to file a joint return, start a new account with a different user ID.  It is too messy to change a joint return to Single.
