    You can change you occupation in Personal Information section of your return.

    1. Login to your TurboTax Account.
    2. Click "Take Me To My Return"
    3. Click "My Info" from the left side of your screen.
    4. Scroll down to the area you wish to edit.

    Please, keep in mind that the IRS requires you to file a tax return when your gross income exceeds the sum of the standard deduction for your filing status plus one exemption amount. If you are a senior you don't count your Social Security income as g ross income. If Social Security is your sole source of income, then you don't need to file a tax return.
