I need to take the dependants off my taxes

If you have already filed your return, you will not be able to remove your dependent until the IRS either accepts or rejects that return. If they reject, you can remove and resubmit. If they accept, you have to wait until you get your refund and then amend the return. 

If you have not already filed your return, see steps below for where to go to remove a dependent. 

  • Log into your account, click orange Take me to my return button
  • Click Personal Info tab at top 
  • Scroll down and click the Delete option next to the name of the dependent you want to remove

If you are still seeing the dependent listed when you do this, go ahead and check to see if you need to delete the worksheet for them as well. You can do that by following these steps:

  • Click My Account in top right and choose Tools
  • Select Delete a form from there
  • On next screen, scroll down to find Personal Worksheet (dependent's name) and click Delete next to it

NOTE: See screenshot below
