We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I marked myself as an independent when I am still a dependent to my father. How do I edit my status on my return?

When I got my rejection it said that my SSN was already filed with my father because of status on my return. I’d like to see if I can fix this through turbo text but if not I’m willing to use mail.

No way to solve the problem online. You must mail the return.

If your father already filed and your return is being rejected because he claimed you as a dependent, then you need to go to My Info, click your name and change your answer to the question about whether you can be claimed as someone else's dependent.  You need to say YES.    Then check over the rest of your return and try to e-file it again.
