The system is automatically determining I can't be head of household. However, I satisfy all requirements for Head of Household. How can I change it?

It won't let me change it in the My Info section. Doesn't give me a Head of Household option.

In the My Info section you would select Single if you are not married.  Then after you enter the information for the dependents, assuming you answered all the dependent questions correctly, the program will ask you specific questions to determine if you are eligible for Head of Household.  If you are eligible the program will give you Head of Household filing status.
