I followed this guide and found how to mark myself as someone who can be claimed on a tax return ^

But I still need to mark how much I received in support.

A few days earlier in the tax software, I came across this screen:

When I logged off on this screen for the day and came back the next, the software placed me on the next page of the form rather than returning me to where I left off. I tried to go back but it wouldn't allow this. I'm not sure how to get back to it.

I'm currently at the end of my form where I'm able to file, which changes (and limits) the interface from what it was when I first started the form.

I just realized this is in the wrong section, but there's no delete button so 🤷

If you already answered the question in TurboTax indicating that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, you don't need to enter any details about what type of support you received on your Federal return.

If you have a Michigan state return, that is where you may have encountered the question about receiving $300 from others. See this discussion thread and this Michigan webpage about the Homestead Property Tax Credit. Revisit the Michigan state interview to resolve this issue.

You only need to report income - such as wages from a job, interest on your own savings, etc. - on your Federal return; that information will flow through to your State return.
