Go back to My Info and either Delete or Edit them and go though the questions again.   Be sure you say their ssn is valid for employment.  Then was at least half of child's expenses paid by CHILD?  Usually is NO, Child didn't pay for more than half of their living expenses.

This does not work. I have a daughter that Turbotax is telling me isnt eligible to be a dependent. This is incorrect. And in MyInfo, I only see myself. There is not a way to see/edit anyone else. Hopefully TurboTax is working to resolve this.

You should also see your dependents in the My Info section.  If they're not there, EDIT yourself and TurboTax will ask if you want to add a dependent.
