We paid more than half her living expenses in 2024, she only paid for her summer living expenses. But I thought there was an option to *not* claim her even though we *could* - that's exactly what her return was asking. How do I go into TT and say we're not claiming her (I don't want to mark that she paid more than half her own expenses when she didn't - in fact, she will probably never pay half if we have to include our entire household expenses divided by the 4 of us as going to support her when she's not even here using electricity or eating our groceries - I think she was in this state for maybe 45 days in 2024, and a large portion of that was spent with her grandparents because they tend to monopolize her when she's back.)?
I have a PIN - I don't know if she does, her brother helped her file. I don't get how that makes her my dependent. She's not going to be happy about amending. She had literally just submitted her return when I told her TT was still marking her as a dependent on ours even though we didn't qualify for a credit and I didn't know how to take her off our return. So can I just delete her information from our return (TT keeps rolling it in from a previous year's return, it does the same thing with her brother's information, but his says he's not a dependent so he doesn't show up on our form)?
Oh, and I don't think it matters to our insurance company whether we claim her as a dependent on our taxes. Her brother ceased to be our dependent when he was 22 since he was no longer a student, and was working full time, but we kept him on our insurance until he turned 25 (at the end of a year, and he decided to get insurance through his employer beginning in January rather than waiting until he turned 26 and potentially being without insurance for over a month until it picked up in January).
