How to file head of household

In order to file as Head of Household, you must have a dependent.  If you haven't already filed your return, you can change your filing status from Single to Head of Household by following these steps:

  1. Click on the Personal Info tab.
  2. On the Personal info Summary screen,:
  • If you haven't already added your child as a dependent, click on the Add a dependent box.  [See Screenshot #1, below.]
  • If you've already entered your child's info, please review it by clicking on the Edit box next to their name.
  • Continue through the screens, entering the requested information.
  • TurboTax will automatically change your filing status from Single to Head of Household if your child qualifies as your dependent..
