Do you have a qualifying child or Dependent? If you entered a dependent it would have automatically switched you to Head of Household if you qualify. Go back to My Info and check all your answers for your dependent.

You need to be Single or file as Married filing Separate and have a qualifying dependent. If you are married you need to live apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of the year.

TurboTax automatically applies Head of Household "HOH" if you have a qualifying dependent and pay more than half of the cost of your home upkeep. 

To add HOH, in the My Info section, after entering your dependent info, during the interview, indicate that Yes, you did pay more than half of the cost to keep up your home in 2025.

If you need extra time, filing an extension by April 15, 2026, moves your submission deadline to October 15. But remember any taxes owed are still due in full by the original April 15 date.
