How do you change your filing status on turbo tax?

[DawnC]

Go to My Info/Personal Info and edit/review next to your marital status.   After that TurboTax will ask follow-up questions and determine your filing status.   

You may qualify for more than one tax filing status. For example, a single (unmarried) person isn't necessarily restricted to the single filing status.   They may be able to file as Head of Household or Qualifying surviving spouse, assuming those qualifications are met.

Likewise, someone who was legally married as of December 31, 2024 could file as married jointly, married separately, or head of household (again, if they meet the qualifications).

If more than one filing status applies to you, we'll choose the one that gives you the biggest tax break.
