Can I change my answers for dependents?

I was moving too fast under dependents where they ask if the child has paid for their own expenses. I thought I was saying yes to me, the parent, paying for her (my 9 year old daughters) expenses. Now it is showing that she does not qualify as a dependent. I need to change my answer but I cannot find where to do this!

Go back to MY INFO and click the dependent's name; go through the interview screens again, slowly and carefully. Read every screen top to bottom.

You can also delete the dependents and re-add them. Sometimes it is easier just to re-add them and start the questions fresh. Add Remove Dep
