I've been using TurboTax every year to do my taxes.
I've been a widow since 2017. After the first few years of being able to file as Qualifying Widow, I now file as Head of Household.
But every year for the past 4-5 yrs at least, when adding detail for my children, I get asked if I have a custody agreement with my child's other parent. And only it asks the question for my youngest the past few years. Maybe cause my oldest I can no longer claim as a dependent??
I always just answer no to the question, but I'd love to understand why it's asking me that question in the first place.
I am my child's only parent!

That question is asked on every return where there is only one parent listed on the return.
It may seem annoying to you, but it's a standard question.
