To file as head of household, you must be unmarried, or separated for at least six months; and you must provide care in your home for a qualifying dependent, usually your child; and you must pay more than half of your household expenses.
Start by selecting in the personal interview, where you enter your name and address, that you want to file as head of household. Later, you will add the names of your dependents. As long as at least one of those dependence is a qualifying person for head of household, the program will let you do that. You don't separately list one of the qualifying people. You simply list all of your dependents in the usual dependent section.
