For Head of Household you first must select your filing status as either Single or Married Filing Separately.  Then you have to enter a qualifying person as a dependent on your tax return.  Once finished entering the dependent the TurboTax program will ask you some question to determine if you are eligible for Head of Household filing status.

And if married, see this TurboTax support FAQ for HOH - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/married-person-claim-head-household-filing-status/L078u1RSW_US_en_US?uid=m696kbve
