I have been filing as a household with turbo tax in all the past years. Now out of nowhere it's not allowing me to file as a head of household. Why?

You must have a qualifying person as a dependent on your tax return to be eligible for Head of Household

 

See this for HOH - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/family/help/do-i-qualify-for-head-of-household/01/25539?search-act...

Have you entered a qualifying dependent?  

 

Am I Head of Household?

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.
