You will add dependents in the "Personal Info" section of TurboTax if you are using a Desktop program or the "My Info" section if you are using TurboTax Online.

If you are using TurboTax Online:

1. Click on the "My Info" section on the left panel of your TurboTax screen
2. Continue through your screen until you see a screen that says: About Your Household.
3. The second question on that screen is "Do you have any dependents" make sure that is answered "Yes".
4. A dropdown menu will appear asking you "How Many Dependents Do you Have?"
5. Enter the number of dependents you have and select "Continue"
6. If you have already answered that question, you can click on "My Info"
7. In the middle of your screen you will see "Your Household"
8. Click on "Add a Dependent"

If you are using TurboTax Desktop:

1. Click on the "Personal Info" tab in the gray bar that goes across the top of your TurboTax screen
2. Scroll your TurboTax screens until you see the screen "Do you have any children or financially support another person?"

4. The next screen is "Who do you support?"
5. You will answer that question and "Continue"
6. The next screen is "Tell us about your child"
7. Answer the questions and select "Continue"
