how do I revise my dependents tax credit section

I realized my son who lives with me made less than I origianally reported in the form but I have not completed the filing yet and I can't change it.

He should file his own return and indicate that someone else can claim him as a dependent.

Then you will file a return claiming him as your dependent.
