Can you let me know where to change my marital status from married to divorced?

Under My Info.  Edit your personal info.  There is no status as Divorced.  You are just now Single.  

If you used Turbo Tax last year you should start a brand new account for yourself and not transfer from last year.  You can not remove a spouse or switch the order of names.

 

Online is only good for 1 return.  But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.   How to start another return in the Online version

Can you let me know where to change my marital status from married to divorced?

You enter your marital status in the Personal Info section of TurboTax.  Your marital status for tax purposes is your status as of December 31st of the tax year.
