In order to use the Head of Household filing status, you must have a 'qualifying person' included on your tax return.  If you have gone through the section of your return and the result was you did not qualify for Head of Household, go through it one more time and double-check your information.  

 

Also, take a look at the following TurboTax article for more specific details about who would be a qualifying person for the Head of Household filing status: What is a 'qualifying person' for Head of Household?
