If your son was not a full time student and had income in 2025 of $5,200 or more you cannot claim him as a dependent.  If he would have been your only dependent you cannot have Head of Household filing status.

Yes. To file as Head of Household in TurboTax Online when you are divorced and have a qualifying person like your 22-year-old son living with you for part of the year whom you supported, you need to update your filing status in your profile.

Follow these steps:
1. Go to the Personal profile section.
2. Select your name and choose Revisit.
3. Continue to the About your household screen.
4. Change your selection under Marital status to reflect that you plan to file as Head of Household.
5. Follow the prompts to confirm your eligibility by answering questions about your household.

This will update your filing status to Head of Household. Make sure to review your return afterward to confirm the status was applied correctly.
