Head of household, for lack of an easier definition, is a single parent. It does not refer to the person who makes more money on the tax return. It does not matter who is listed first as long as you are consistent from year to year. You, if you are married, would choose married filing jointly.

If you can't change the names via the edit process, you can just start a new return as long as you choose a different user name.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open (continue) your tax return.
    (To do this, sign in to TurboTax and click the orange
     Take me to my return button.)
  2. Click the Personal Info Tab
  3. Click Edit by your Name (or Your Spouse's Name)

See if that helps. If not, as long as you haven't paid or registered yet, here's how to Clear & Start Over:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax Online and open your return by clicking the orange Take me to my return button.
  2. From the My Account dropdown menu, select Clear & Start Over.
  3. Answer Yes to Are you sure you want to clear your return?
  4. After your entries have been cleared out, we'll prompt you to select a TurboTax product so you can start over from the very beginning.
  5. If you're signed in under last year's login, we'll automatically transfer last year's info over if you select the PLUS upgrade, Deluxe, Premier, or Self-Employed. Federal Free Edition (without PLUS) does not include the year-over-year transfer feature
