Deductions & credits

Glad you were able to get it entered correctly.

 

There is not a "dependent deduction."   There are certain credits you can get if you claim a dependent.  If the dependent is a child under the age of 17, you might get the earned income credit, child tax credit, additional child tax credit,  or childcare credit (for a child younger than 13).  If your dependent is over the age of 16, you can get the $500 credit for other dependents and you might get earned income credit.
