I accidentally chose independent but I need my father to be able to claim be on his tax returns

[rothenbergt]

How do I fix this? I can't seem to go back to that option. Thanks!

Please note that if you have already e-filed you will have to prepare an amended return to mark the box that someone else can claim you.  You CANNOT e-file an amended return. Your amended return MUST be PRINTED and MAILED.  It usually takes 2-4 months for an amended return to be processed.

You should also advise your father that he WILL NOT BE ABLE TO E-FILE this year.
