• Answer:

  When you start doing your taxes, turbo tax should ask you about your state residency. Make sure that you put in that you lived in 2 different states last year and the dates you lived in each. From there, turbo tax should walk you through filing both state returns. As for head of household, paying all the bills does not by itself qualify you for that filing status. See Publication 501 on the IRS website for the rules on filing statuses.
