online has been closed for 2024. you will need the desktop software to finish the return and you won't be able to e-file. if you started with online, see below to continue the return. in the personal worksheet section either using step mode or forms mode, there is a section for taxpayers who can be claimed as dependents.

in step mode it's under the personal info tab. when you enter or edit your info it's the page following where you enter your name and other personal info. this page will ask if any of these apply and one question is whether you can be claimed as a dependent.

in forms mode the question is in section II of the worksheet
