It’s not giving me any option to edit my dependent information

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Edit the dependent information

The easiest way to correct your dependent's information is to delete it, and then reenter it.

Add/Edit/Delete Personal Information Entries:

Open or continue your return.
Click on My Info (or Personal Info on Desktop).
Find the dependent in question and Click on the trash can icon (or the Delete button) next to your dependent's name.
Confirm that you want to remove them
Click Add a dependent and start the entry over.

Be sure to answer "No" when the program asks: "Did [Name] provide more than half of their own support?"
