Yes, you should file an amended 2016 tax return to include information that was missed.  However, the form needed to amend your 2016 tax return will not be available until February 11, 2017. 

Once the form is ready, TurboTax can help you file the amendment. To learn more about amending your tax return, please review the information in the following link and the Frequently Asked Question included below.

Yes.

 

If you have not yet filed your return, you can make the change in the My Info section of the program. 

  1. Select Edit to the right of your name. 
  2. Scroll down to Section 3 and change you answer to no under Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return

 

Change dependent answer

 

If you have already filed your tax returns and they have been accepted, you will need to file an amended tax return.  I have included instructions on how to prepare an amendment below.
