I accidentally changed my status to dependent of my spouse and now I can't figure out how to go back and fix it

I only have the "pick up where I left off"option under personal info and everything I'm doing is now wrong.

I accidentally changed my status to dependent of my spouse and now I can't figure out how to go back and fix it

Please see the walkthrough below for how to fix the spouse dependent status:

1. Please log into your TurboTax Online Account and select Take me to my return.

2. Now the next screen will say welcome back to TurboTax. Please select Pick up where I left off.

3. Now this is going to take you to where ever you left off last in your return. Now what you want to do is select Personal Info towards the top of the screen next to federal taxes.

4. Once you select personal info it will take you to your personal info summary. Here you can select edit to the right of your name or your spouses name and you can fix the dependent status to no for the option "Someone else can claim my spouse as a dependent on their tax return".
