Choosing not to claim a dependent
I have 23-year-old son who graduated college in 2022 and fully employed as of June 2022. Lives at home and I did provide more than half of his support, so by IRS rules I can claim him. My understanding is I can choose not to, and he must indicate on his return that he can be claimed by someone, but that person will not claim him.
On my return, do I simply remove him as a dependent or leave him on my return as a dependent and indicate I don't want to claim him? I did not see an option in Turbo Tax to keep him as a dependent and not claim him, my guess is I have to remove him as a dependent.
Thank you
