On dependents I thought it was asking me if I paid for more than half his expenses, not if he paid more than half of them. How do I change that?

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

 

Add/Edit/Delete Personal Information Entries:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Click on My Info (or Personal Info on Desktop).
  3. Find the dependent in question and Click on the trash can icon (or the Delete button) next to your dependent's name. 
  4. Confirm that you want to remove them
  5. 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?
