Form 1040 Correction

[xejive]

My Dad claimed me as a dependent without telling me so I need to go back to my 1040 and change my dependent status I guess. Every time I go to "Fix my problems" or whatever it just tells me whats wrong and I have no idea how to actually fix it.....

Can you log back into your return?  Click on Add a State to let you back into your retun. 

Then go to My Info, Click Edit by your name then scroll down to #3

If you were claimed as a Dependent, and your return was rejected, you need to indicate in TurboTax that you are being claimed as a Dependent.

To do so, you will need to revisit the "My Info" section and click "Edit" next to your name.  As you walk through the TurboTax interview process, you need to answer "YES" to the question "Someone else can claim me as a Dependent" and "YES" to "and this person will claim me on their 2018 Tax Return".

But you only amend if your original return was accepted.  Sounds like his return was rejected.
