Why did TurboTax recommend being a single filer instead of head of household when I have met all head of household qualifiers?

This reduced my standard deduction which increased my taxable income and also increase the amount owed by $1,000

Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your filing status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
