Unlike Single, Married Filing Joint, Head of Household, etc., being a dependent is not "filing status", it's a check box on page one of your tax return. TurboTax askes you in the "Your personal info" section of "My Info".
- To indicate you can be claimed as a dependent, while logged in to your return,
- Click on "My Info" in the far right of your screen.
- In the Personal info summary, click on Edit next to your name
- Scroll down to #3 and answer Yes to Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
Note: Whether or not you indicate that someone else CAN claim you as a dependent, is not determined by whether or not someone does claim you. Even if the person who can claim you does not, you still must indicate someone else can claim you.
