Delete your son in MY INFO.    If he was born in 2026, there should be no entry whatsoever for him on your 2025 tax return.

You can remove a dependent before submitting, by following the next steps:

 

  • Sign in to your TurboTax account and open your return.
  • Go to the My Info section.
  • Find the "Dependents" section.
  • Click the trash can icon or Delete button next to the dependent's name.
  • Follow the instructions to confirm the removal.

How do I add or remove a dependent?


If you have already filed, you must wait until the IRS accepts or rejects your return.

 

  • If your return is rejected, you can fix the return by going to "My Info," and deleting the dependent before re-submitting.
  • If accepted, you won't be able to make any changes until your original return is fully processed, and you receive your refund (if applicable). Then you may proceed to amend your return.
