You select the option that someone else can claim you as a dependent

If you haven't efiled or mailed your return or it rejected you can go back in and change anything you want.  Do not click on Amend!

 

Click on Add a State to let you back into your return.

From Tax Home (the first screen you see after you sign in), scroll down to Your tax returns & documents. You may have to select Show to open the drop down.

 

Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this is just the workaround).

 

Then go to My Info, click edit by your name and scroll to #3 

Can someone else claim you?
