My customer qualifies to file HOH since she is considered as "unmarried" at end of the year. When I choose HOH filing status, her tax return gets rejected with code R0000-503-02. Will she need to paper file?

What is the explanation associated with that reject code?
Do you have a spouse entered? If so, why?
There is no spouse entered. I initially entered it because they filed MFJ last year (I was using a different software last year). Then when I verified that she qualifies for HOH, I deleted the spouse information.
Some spouse info must still be in there even if you can't see it.
PTO is based on Lacerte. Do you have the ability to see codes by using Ctrl W? If so, do it when you are in the spouse info section and see if there is any data there to delete.
You're correct. I looked at the 1040 again and it has the spouse's SSN. I checked everywhere and I don't know how to delete it. I tried Ctrl+W but it is to close the window. Thank you very much for helping me with this!

That tells me you did not actually delete the spouse's data:
This should, hopefully, resolve your problem.
question her if ex spouse has file married separate or else interview client on every avenue to find out more info. sometimes they want to claim Hof H becouse the credit but they cannot I reject several new clients coming over therefore Questioned, questioned.
Where do you click General?
General is in the navigation panel on the left.
The spouse's information were all deleted on the main screen. I finally found the SSN in the miscellaneous screen. IRS has accepted the return.
Thanks everyone for the help!
