Head of household has nothing to do with a Married Filing Jointly return.  

If you are filing Married Filing Jointly, and you want one name for the top line, enter that name first when you create the account and start your return. 


If you ARE filing as Head of Household, only you can be listed as the Taxpayer and everyone else in your household would be your dependent.
