Once you are in the Amend return go to the Personal Info section, scroll down to the dependent section, and select delete next to the dependent that you would like to remove.
Wait until you receive your refund and follow the steps below to Amend:

I have received this:
Your amended federal tax return was rejected and needs to be resubmitted.
F1040X-016 - For each dependent in 'DependentDetail' on Form 1040-X, there must be a corresponding entry in the same position in 'DependentDetail' on the amended Form 1040 with the same 'DependentFirstNm' and 'DependentLastNm' and 'DependentNameControlTxt' and 'IdentityProtectionPIN' and ( 'DependentSSN' or 'DiedLiteralCd') and 'DependentRelationshipCd' and ( 'EligibleForChildTaxCreditInd' or 'EligibleForODCInd' ).
TurboTax says "Once you've opened your return in TurboTax, the details about what needs updating will be displayed. From there we can walk you through making the updates you need and help you e-file your return. If it isn't possible to e-file your updated return, we'll make sure you have everything you need to print and file your tax return by mail."
But when I open the return there are no directions. How do I resolve this?
This Turbo Tax FAQ will provide guidance.
How do I fix e-file reject F1040-516?
