HI WHEN I STARTED MY TAXES IT DIDN'T ASK ME WAS I FILING HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD HOW DO I CHANGE THAT BECAUSE IT HAS SINGLE AND I HAVE NEVER FILED SINGLE

Yes, you can change your filing status. First, do  make sure your dependents are entered so you can file as Head of Household.

 

Here's how to do this in TurboTax Online:

1. While logged into your TurboTax account, navigate to the left of the screen, under 2024 Taxes, choose My Info

2. At the top of the screen, under Your Info appears your name, click your name to expand options, then choose Edit

3. Continue through the interview pages until you arrive at About your household

4. Answer the question "What was your marital status on December 31, 2024? to change your filing status

Are you sure you qualify to file as Head of Household?  See this if you're not sure:

The TurboTax program may have determined from your information that you do not qualify to file HOH.
