@cathleenlsmith Here's a repost of Heather14's post above to remove a dependent.
You may not wish to remove the dependent from your return even if you can't claim them, as they may otherwise qualify you for other deductions and credits or for filing Head of Household. You can revisit the questions for the dependent and indicate that you are not claiming them on your return instead.
To remove the dependent from a return that you have not filed you will do the following:
- Log in to your TurboTax Online account, or open your TurboTax CD/Download program
- Click Take me to my return
- Click on Personal Info
- Find the dependent's name that you want to remove from your return
- Click to delete.
To delete a dependent on an amended/rejected return you will do the following:
- Log in to your TurboTax Online account, or open your TurboTax CD/Download program
- Click on Taxes
- Click on My Tax Timeline
- Look under the status of your 2016 return, and click to Amend your return/or click Fix my return
- Once in your return, you will click on Personal Info
- Find the dependent's name that you want to remove from your return
- Click to delete.
