Read the form......

"Add one if you qualify for Head of Household".

File as "Single" and increase your exemptions by 1.

To file as head of household you check the box on your 1040 or 1040A that says head of household. Be sure you meet all the requirements to do so.

You are allowed to take an extra allowance on your W-4 if you'll be filing as head of household - you still file it as single. There's a line on the W-4 worksheet that shows this.
