I accidentally put independent on my tax return when i was put as dependent by my parent, how do i change it or do i need to restart everything?

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen.  Edit your personal information and then select that you are a dependent.

Did you file it wrong?  If it was Accepted you will have to amend.  Did your parent's return reject because you claimed yourself?

My mother put me as a dependent on her return and I put independent for mine when i should’ve put dependent, so it got rejected by the IRS.

But i already filed it and it got rejected by the IRS

Since your tax return was rejected then you only need to change your dependency in the My Info section and e-file the 2022 tax return again.

Is there a left column on your phone screen when using TurboTax on the phone?  If so, there will be a link called My Info

No, when i go to app it says fix return in the middle of the screen, but it wont let me change anything.

Ok..Does anything happen when you click on fix return? 

If not, are there 3 horizontal bars in the upper left of the screen?  If so, can you click on those three bars and if you can that will open the left side column.

in part the correct answer depends on 

1) whether you are in fact eligible to be claimed as a dependent by your parents

You could be claimed as a qualifying child if all these tests are met

• You have the same principal abode as the other party for more than ½ the tax year.  Temporary absences like for school are ignored
• If not a full-time student (any part of any 5 months – in a letter ruling the IRS allowed the month the student registered even though classes didn’t start until the next month), you’re under 19 at the end of the tax year.  If a full-time student under 24 at end of tax year.  
• you haven't provided over ½ your own support
• you didn't file a joint return unless there was no tax liability but merely filing joint to facilitate refund of taxes withheld or estimates paid

Or as you could be a qualifying relative if all these tests are met

      You’re related to the other person or, if not, lived with the other party for the entire year and

• your gross income for 2022 less than $4,400
• the other party provided over ½ your support
• you aren't a qualifying child of another taxpayer

2) say you are their dependent. if you haven't filed yet, just change it. If you have and it was accepted you'll need to file an amended return. if rejected just change it and re-e-file.

3)  if you file did file and it was accepted then then they should not be able to e-file.
