Am I still able to claim both of my elderly parents as my dependents if they already filed with IRS as Married Filed Jointly (MFJ)? Basically, this is the first time I am trying to claim them as my dependents, they had no taxable income for 2022, and they already filed tax to IRS for no reason but just as a habit they been doing every year, but they did specify on their forms that someone will claim both of them as dependent. However, when I am trying to use Turbotax to file my tax as Head of House and including their names on my return, IRS reject my application right away saying their SSN had been filed as spouse. Any tax expert please tell me if they are still quality to be claimed as my dependents or there is no way IRS will accept my application. I tried to call IRS today, and their tax law representative was not helpful, basically he just told me no and hung up on me. But I read somewhere says there are exceptions. Please help me if you know something! Thank you very much!!!
