Claim as dependent

user17718714327 — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 18:35:34 GMT

I have started filing (have not actually filed yet), and realized my daughter can claim me as a dependent. How do I get back to the screen that asks that? I've tried going back to the beginning, but I can't get to the "Can someone else claim you as a dependent" screen. I didn't answer that question initially and when I came back to filing, I can no longer check that box.

The question about whether you can be claimed as someone else's dependent appears in MY INFO. Go back to MY INFO, click your name and go through the screens again---slowly and carefully.

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Edit your personal information and change the dependency on the screen labeled Let's check for some other situations. Check the box on

Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
