Amended Dependency Status Fee

[Joggy2004]

I am a student whose parents cannot claim them as a dependent on the 2026 return, and so I have gone back to amend my dependency status and claim my educational tax credits. I had to upgrade to the TurboTax Online Do it Yourself Deluxe package, but I am also being charged for refiling/amending my state tax returns, which did not change. How do I go about making this amendment without the state return fee, and only the package upgrade price?

The upgrade fee covers federal and state.    And you can delete the state amendment if you are not going to file it.    

If you already started a state return, you can delete it as long as you haven't paid for it yet (or registered your free version with the state attached).

If you plan to eventually file a state return, just not right now, you can skip it and file only your federal return. However, if you wish to e-file your state, you'll be able to do so only after your e-filed federal return has been accepted.
