I just finished filing for my taxes but realized that I filed as a dependent instead of independent

If your return has been rejected by the IRS, all you will have to do is make the changes on your return and refile.

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click "Take Me To My Return"
3. Click "My Info" from the left side of your screen
4. Click “Edit” next to your name
5. Please scroll down to “3. A few other things we need to know”  and check the answer under “Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return”

If your return has been already accepted by the IRS, you will have to file an amended return (1040X) to make changes. But you might want to wait until your refund or payment is processed. The IRS will only accept amended returns via mail.

Please see the following information on how to amend your return:
