 do you mean check? please clarify.

If you can be claimed as someone else's dependent, then in MY INFO when it asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent, answer YES.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking! What do you mean by Primary?

However,

  • Any dependent questions are in the My Info section of the tax return
  • After you log into TurboTax, My Info is in the menu bar.
  • If you've entered the information for yourself, and any others in your family, you can select their name.
  • As you review the information you entered, one question is
    • Can someone else claim (you or them) as a dependent?
    • You can make any modifications in this area.

Please contact us again with any additional questions or to provide some additional details.
