Can I change my answers for dependents?

I was moving too fast under dependents where they ask if the child has paid for their own expenses. I thought I was saying yes to me, the parent, paying for her (my 9 year old daughters) expenses. Now it is showing that she does not qualify as a dependent. I need to change my answer but I cannot find where to do this!

Go back to MY INFO and click the dependent's name; go through the interview screens again, slowly and carefully.   Read every screen top to bottom.

Yes, as long as you have not filed, go back to the My Info or Personal Information section.   Select edit next to each dependent and go back through the questions.   You can also delete the dependents and re-add them.   Sometimes it is easier just to re-add them and start the questions fresh.   Add Remove Dep
