IRS says that relative does not have to mean an actual blood relative. I quote: "Relationship – the person must have lived with taxpayer for the entire year" .
And yet there is NO way to get turbotax to give a head of household with picking an actual relative.
If you pick "OTHER" turbotax WILL NOT let you change to head of household.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
For Head of Household, a qualifying relative must be related by blood or marriage. See below.
