You have not entered a qualifying person as a dependent on your tax return, that is why you were never asked questions to determine if you were eligible for Head of Household filing status.

Go back to the Personal Info/ My Info section and complete the questionnaire.  This is where you enter all of the information the program uses to determine your filing status. 

 

Head of Household filing status typically allows parents or adults with qualifying dependents who provide over half the cost of keeping up a home for a qualifying person to claim a higher standard deduction and be taxed at lower tax rates than single taxpayers or those who are married filing separately.

 

See this TurboTax tax tips article for more information regarding head of household status.
