Hello,
I claimed zero dependents on my W2 all last year because my daughter was no longer a full-time college student, 23, and started a job in January-although still living at home. I expected her to continue working, but things happened to where she could not continue her employment. Rather than changing my dependent status on my W2, I kept it as zero dependents-hopeful she would regain steady consistent employment, but did not.
I just started to file my taxes and when going through the prompts about my daughter, it stated that she qualified as a dependent based on the questions I answered. Will me not changing my W2 back to 1 dependent last year be an issue when now I'm claiming her as dependent on my taxes?
Thank You.
