TurboTax didn't ask, and I didn't enter, the percentage of household support that I pay.
I entered nothing that TurboTax could use to determine I provided less than 50%. I got this weird message before I entered any household income.
To be clear, I earn 100% of my family's income, and all of my dependents depend solely on me.
I have no idea why TurboTax is making up something so bizarre based on no evidence whatsoever.
After you enter your dependents, there's a question that asks if you paid more than half the cost of keeping up the home. It's possible that you haven't gotten to that question yet, so based on the information available to the program at the time, the single filing status is best. Once you get to this question and answer it correctly, your filing status will be updated.
