I did my tax return and it has me as Single. I should be Head of Household because I take care of my disabled Mother and I paid over half of Household expenses.

Maybe......but we need to know more about Mom's income.  Did she have less than $4700 of income --- not counting any Social Security?   If yes, then she may be your qualified relative dependent and will qualify as a dependent for you to file as HOH.

 

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
