How do I change my return to head of household on turbotax

How do I change it from single to head of household

If the IRS has accepted your return as filed then you must amend your tax return once the IRS has had a chance to process it.  For your convenience I will add information about who qualifies for Head of Household so that you can be confident of your change in filing status.

You will be able to access and file an amended return on February 23rd (Form 1040-X).  

Be sure to read all the instructions carefully, before you begin, so that TurboTax knows the original numbers and the changed numbers for your amendment.

• How to amend (change or correct) a return already filed?
• What is the deadline for filing an amended return?
• How to file an amended return with the IRS

The information at the link below will give you details about Head of Household qualifiers.

• Do I qualify for Head of Household in 2022?

Having the same problem. I'm unmarried and otherwise meet the qualifications for HoH. TurboTax just automatically suggested "single" and is not giving the option to select a filing status at all in the "my info" section online.

In the My Info section your current Filing Status is shown.  You can Edit the filing status.

The My Info section doesn't show any option to change my filing status, only my marital status. TurboTax also never asked if I pay more than half the costs for my household.

Did you enter a dependent?  If so, is the dependent a qualified person for head of household?
