Get your taxes done using TurboTax
We are not sure what you are trying to do. Did you already file a past year return claiming a dependent that you should not have claimed? If so you have to amend that tax return and remove the dependent from the My Info section. Or are you asking for the upcoming tax season for tax year 2022?
Dependents are entered/edited in My Info, so if you are not claiming a dependent then you simply do not enter anything about that person in My Info. However, as stated above by another user, the person who will claim the dependent must meet the lawful criteria to claim the dependent. You cannot just "let" someone claim your dependent.
IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:
