Amending Return

Hello,

I am amending my 2025 tax return. I had made the mistake as filing as an independent when I still qualify as a dependent. My father needs to claim me as a dependent so I am making that change. However, when I initially submitted my tax return, I had attached a 1095-A form that I had gotten from my father. Now whenever I try to amend the return and delete the 1095-A form, TurboTax still highlights it as a problem and asks me to delete the 1095-A, even though I have already deleted it. It won't let me file the return electronically. I am unsure of what to do.

Thanks so much for your guidance.

Did you try deleting the actual form or just in the interview mode? Also, were you already in the Amend process or are you doing this without starting the amendment?

You will need to start the amendment prior deleting the form and then to delete the form take the following steps:

Correct your filing status, marking that someone can and will claim you as a dependent on their return
Then go to delete a form and look for form 8962 and the 1095-A.
Delete the 1095-A
Then delete the 8962

This should allow you to move forward.

From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)
On the drop-down select Tools
On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form
This will show all of the forms in your return
Scroll down to the form you want to delete
Select the Form
Click on Delete.

Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.

Hello Vanessa,

Thank you for your help. I selected "amend using turbotax online". Then I changed my filing status, then when the process told me to delete the 1095-A form, I did so. Despite this it continues to tell me that I can't submit electronically.

Thanks so much for your patience and responses.
