I have started filing (have not actually filed yet), and realized my daughter can claim me as a dependent. How do I get back to the screen that asks that? I've tried going back to the beginning, but I can't get to the "Can someone else claim you as a dependent" screen. I didn't answer that question initially and when I came back to filing, I can no longer check that box.
