If your dependent was a full-time college student, make sure you were careful on the MY INFO screen for “Uncommon situations” and that you indicated there that they were a student.

Go to the personal info section and select the pencil to edit the answers for your child. If that does not work, then you can delete the dependent worksheet. After you delete the worksheet you can go back and re-enter her. Pay close attention to the months that she lived with you (if she is away at school that counts as a temporary absence so you would include those months as well) . The other question to pay close attention to is did she provide over half of her own support. Obviously with that amount of income she did not, but sometimes this question gets answered in the wrong way so it excludes them from being a dependent.

From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)

On the drop-down select Tools
On the Pop-Up menu titled “Tools Center,” select Delete a Form
This will show all of the forms in your return
Scroll down to the form you want to delete
Select the Form
Click on Delete.

Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.
