Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Kathryn,

 

I read this post and have followed the links you provided and have determined that I do qualify as an independent. (I marked that someone can claim me as dependent for 2019, although they did not claim me). I am trying to change that someone could claim me for 2019. 

 

As I understand I must file an amended return through form 1040x. However, as far as I can tell I already claimed the standard deduction for singles on my 2019 return using the worksheet for line 9 on form 1040. (I made less than 12,200 for the year).   So I am wondering should I enter 12,200 on line 2 C. on 1040x  instead of my earned income reported for 2019?     

 

any help is appreciated
