Filing Status

I was asked Single etc. I chose single. There was never an option for Head of House hold once I made my  choice. I chose dependent as well. Does that mean I am still head of household and single. I am confused.

Filing Status

You do not mention who your dependent is---only certain dependents can be qualifying dependents for head of household filing status.

Am I Head of Household?

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

Filing Status

Head of Household filers can have a lower taxable income than single filers. They also can have greater potential refunds.

 

To qualify, you have to meet certain criteria. To file as Head of Household, you have to:

  • Pay for more than half of the expenses for a qualifying household
  • Be considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year
  • Have a qualifying child or dependent
