@croftevelyn In order to remove (or add) a dependent to a past year tax return, you would need to file an amended return, which must be prepared on a Form 1040X. That form then must be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS. It cannot be e-filed. The "normal" four months of processing time for an amended return is now taking much longer. Dependent information can be changed in the My Info section.
If you received child-related credits for a dependent you may owe and need to pay the IRS when you remove the dependent.
