I removed my daughter in college as a dependent from my return. When I go to file her return, some odd things happen:
When I answer the question (Do any of these apply to XXX) in the personal info section, if I select 'someone else can claim XXX on their tax return' and then 'no one will claim XXX on their tax return', two things happen:
1. The Recovery Rebate Credit does not appear.
2. She can not get the full standard deduction of $12,400. Instead it calculates based on adding $350 to earned income.
If I answer the question (Do any of these apply to XXX) as 'none of the above':
1. The Recovery Rebate Credit appears.
2. She gets the full standard deduction of $12.400.
Any idea what is going on?
