WHERE IS THE CHECK BOX FOR HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD IN YOUR LISTINGS ?
Best answer by Irene2805

TurboTax will show you as "single," but if you have a dependent will automatically change the filing status to "head of household." 

Please check these items:

  • On the Personal Info Summary, it may show "Single" to the right of Marital Status, but does it show Head of Household to the left? 
  • Check the entries for your grandson to make sure he is being considered your dependent.  When you go to the Personal info summary, do you see him listed as a dependent? If not, click on Edit next to his name and go through the interview to check your entries.
