You are only eligible for head of household if you have paid over one-half the cost to maintain your household And you a qualifying person as a dependent.

If you entered Single and did not enter a dependent you cannot have head of household filing status.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for head of household - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-filing-status/qualify-head-household...

The program asks for your MARITAL status which is SINGLE.  Then later when you enter a qualifying dependent the FILING status of HOH may be suggested which you can accept or reject.  So did you enter a qualifying dependent ?    Did you efile the return yet ?   If so is the return PENDING ?
