Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can remove her as a dependent for 2024, however a dependent is not allowed as an option. Only one taxpayer is eligible to claim a dependent which means there's not a choice on who will claim a dependent/child. The fact that your child did file as though she was independent and did not select that someone such as a parent would be claiming her does not mean she has the right to do so. It seems clear from your statements she is your dependent, which means her tax return should be amended and yours should be filed claiming her.  

 

Because she did file first, then you would have to mail your tax return to file it accurately. Her return can be amended online with TurboTax. 

To make things more clear, and located in one place, the following articles will provide additional guidance.
