Why does it say that I don't qualify for head of household? It says it's because I didn't pay more than 50% of the expenses for the year. I paid 100%.

It would be because you selected that you did not pay for more than half of the expenses.

Go back and edit your personal info section. Walk through the questions again reading each question carefully. You will select that you DID pay more than 50% of the household and that no one else lived with you that paid more than 50% of household expenses.

Be extra careful when answering questions in MY INFO about your dependent. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the dependent paid for over half their expenses. You have to say NO to that one.
