Deductions & credits

Unfortunately just deleting them doesn't solve the issue.  The issue is whether they can be claimed as a dependent, and whether you delete them or not the student still has to answer "Can someone claim you".

 

Turbotax does not allow you to indicate that they paid more than half their expenses, and therefore incorrectly (apparently) classifies them as dependents.

 

Before my student answers the question on his form, I need to find out if Turbotax is wrong or right.

 

The IRS says he is not a dependent if he paid more than half his expenses, Turbotax says he is.
