"Self-Employed is not a filing status like "Head of Household".  Self-employed indicates how you earn your income.  If you work for an employer that withholds tax and issues you a W-2, you are an employee.  If you are a contractor, and your income is reported on Form(s) 1099-MISC, you are self-employed.  You can be self employed and file your return with a status of Head of Household.
