Where are you being asked about retirement?    We cannot see your screen or your tax return so we do not know where you are in the program.  Who is your dependent?  You would not be asked if your dependent is retired.  We need to know what specific question(s) you are trying to answer in order to help you.

 

You do not enter your dependent's income on your own tax return.  You have not mentioned whether your dependent is your disabled child or another adult who lives with you or who you support.  If your dependent has retirement or disability income, it does not go on your tax return.  It goes on the dependent's return.....if the dependent needs to file a return at all.

I put my aunt in the claim dependent section, now I found out that she has her own pension but she live with me, and I am taking care of her expenses. Am I filling wrong? Is it will make my refund delay?

If her pension payments for the year are $4,300 or more then you cannot claim her as a dependent.
