To use the Head of Household filing status on your tax return there are a few requirements that must be met.  They are as follows:

 

  • You must have been unmarried as of December 31, 2022
  • You must have paid over half the cost to run your (or your qualifying parent's) home
  • You must have supported a qualifying person

As you go through your return using TurboTax, you will answer questions in order to determine whether you are qualified to use the Head of Household filing status or if another filing status is right for your situation.  You do not need to know the ins and outs of the rules stated above since the program will use your answers to figure it out.

 

To learn more, take a look at the following TurboTax help articles:
