I've been filing as married filing jointly every year. This year TurboTax defaults to "head of household" and I can't change the status. How do I fix this?

I've tried starting a new return, and there is no option to NOT import from last year. When it imports from last year, the information looks correct, but then when I continue it defaults back to head of household instead of married filing jointly.
