accidently indicated that I would not be a dependent on another's return and created form 8862. Can't get to efile with the error saying box 4 on the form should be blank

[ckolman06]

Can be claimed on a parent's return and tried preparing the return myself. Mistake! How do I make the error go away or delete form 8862 and start again?

To indicate that someone else can claim you as a dependent, with your return open:

• Click on "My Info", or if your at the "Tax Home" select "Personal Info"
• Click on your name and then "Revisit"
• "Continue" until you get to the screen with "Let's check for some other situations"
• Check the box for "Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return." and Continue

If checking the box that someone else can claim you doesn't delete Form 8862, see the following TurboTax Help Article:
