How do I change my filing status?

[karlalc89]

I accidentally filed as HoH and I want to switch to filing as single

Did you already e-file?    Did you claIm a qualified dependent?    Why are you trying to change from HOH to Single?   Is there some sort of confusion regarding claiming a child?

If you haven't e-filed yet, change your filling status on the Personal profile screen. 

1. Select your name under Your info
2. Select Revisit
3. Continue through the screens and answer No to Do you have any dependents on the About Your Household Screen.

I can’t change it. It doesn’t give me the option to change my filing status.

when I put my dependent it said I qualified for HoH but am able to file Single but it does not give me the option to file single. It just says continue and it automatically files as HoH.

@karlalc89 Why are you trying to change to single instead of HOH?    Asked this once----is there some sort of problem regarding which parent is claiming a child?   

[karlalc89]

I always file single.

@karlalc89 If you are a single parent claiming a child as a dependent and do not have any sort of issue with another parent who is also claiming the same child, why would you want to file single instead of HOH?   Your standard deduction for HOH is higher----which means more of your income is "tax free"----would you rather have $14,600 of your income be tax free, or would you like for $21,900 to be tax free?
