Yes, you can amend your tax return to remove a dependent so your spouse can claim them instead. To amend your 2024 tax return in TurboTax, you need to wait until the IRS has processed your original return and you have received your refund or your payment has been processed.
TurboTax typically makes the amendment option available starting in late February.
- Once ready, sign in to your TurboTax account, access your return, and select "Amend (change) return."
- "Go to My Info" section and remove the dependent.
- Follow all prompts to help ensure the dependent is removed.
For information about form availability, you can check the TurboTax Link on a daily basis.
