depentent

deje1952 · ‎February 8, 2021

I have a disable son 29 yrs. old and have been claiming him from the time he was 18 yrs old. This yr. the turbotax (Deluxe) works for the deduction until I put in his social security number and then removes the deduction. What is the problem?

The rules for being able to claim a dependent have not changed for the 2020 tax return. If everything was fine up until the time that you entered the Social Security number, then you should double-check the number that was entered. If it was entered incorrectly then it may not have been recognized as a valid number.

To review the rules for claiming a dependent, take a look at the following TurboTax article: Who can I claim as my dependent?
