Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Look at your form 1040 to see if it is giving you the Child Tax Credit or the Other Dependent Credit.  It may be just the wording that is being used.

 

You will see which credit you are getting by looking at their name on the first page of your return under dependents.  If the Other Dependent Credit is checked, then it is just a wording issue.  

 

If for some reason the child tax credit is checked, you can delete your parent by clicking the trashcan next to their name in the personal info section, clear you cache and cookies and then re-enter.
