I am head of my household but the turbo tax form does not let me choose that for my filing status. What do I do?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.

If you are not claiming a qualified person as a dependent on your tax return you cannot have Head of Household filing status.
