Can I remove a dependent from my return if she is not my dependent this year and I don’t have her ssn?

I am going through paternity process right now and have not had the child as a dependent so I filed her as not a dependent. She is still on my profile from last year but I don’t have access to her ssn and can’t file without it. I need to remove her from my profile or bypass her ssn. What do I do?

In the My Info section of the TurboTax online editions, you can delete her as a dependent.

how did you file in 2022 since it should not have bren possible to claim her without her SSN.

 

 

anyway, on the personal info tab if she's listed as a dependent click on edit then click on delete then yes

******************

go back to the personal info tab, where you're listed click on edit only if your filing status is wrong. it should either be single, if you have no qualifying dependents or head of household if you do. if you need to change it continue through the pages until you get to the one where your filing status is listed and change to correct one. 

if no change required your done
