Get your taxes done using TurboTax

AFTER your return has been full processed you will need to amend and change the way you answered the question in MY INFO that asked if you can be claimed as someone else's dependent.  You cannot amend yet.

 

Your parents do not have to wait for you to amend.    Waiting will not help that at all.

 

They can print, sign and mail their return that claims you, since mailed returns are not rejected.  It will take a lot longer for them to get their refund if they have to file by mail.

 

Or they can get an IP PIN to e-file:
