To take your child off of your tax return you will need to file an amended return with the IRS and State, depending on where you live.

 

To file an amended return your original return needs to be accepted by the IRS then when it becomes available when you log into your TurboTax account you will see the option to file an amended return.

 

Follow the steps to remove your child from the return.  Once you have completed all of the changes to your return, then you need to print, sign, date, and mail the amended return to the IRS and State (if you filed a state return) according to the instructions that will print out with the amended return.

 

If the child is going to file their own return they will not be able to file until your amended return has been processed.  This often takes 8-16 weeks.
