Turbo tax has 82 yo mother as qualifying widow. Husband died in 2016 and she has 54yo dependent child (not disabled), Is her status correct or should it be house hold?

I thought the 2018 law changed with regards to qualifying widow status. Does it now include any child dependent or just children under 17? She has provided 100% support of the adult child. Turbotax chose qualifying widow. Is that right

Yes, if her husband passed away in 2016 and she has a dependent child, she should file as a qualifying widow for 2017 and 2018.
