If you are a single person without any dependents or qualifying individuals who live in the home with you, then you will use the Single filing status.

 

Being the head of your own household and qualifying to use the Head of Household filing status are different things.  You must be supporting a qualifying person as a member of your household in order to use the Head of Household filing status.

 

As you go through your return using TurboTax, the program will guide you to the correct filing status based on the questions that you answer along the way.

 

Take a look at the following TurboTax articles for more details:

What is a 'qualifying person' for Head of Household?
