Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Deleting and starting over doesn't fix the issue with the online version. It automatically imports my lasts year data for which I was single and no dependents. Then going thru the process of adding my adult daughter as a dependent if you answer zero months it skips asking how much did she earn and if I paid half of her support and thus fails.  The Turbotax program is flawed and has a bug, there is no requirements living with you for a relative, it is "or" per the IRS but Turbotax treats as an "and" they have to be related "and" they have to live with you more than 6 months. I assume I can just answer that she lived with me for 7 months in Turbotax and then the program will add her as a dependent if that information isn't sent to the IRS, I don't want to lie, but I want to claim the deduction I am entitled to since I supported her for the whole year including going back to school to retrain into a new career after becoming a discouraged worker.
