If you are a dependent, but you need to file a tax return, be sure you select "Yes, Someone else can claim me" and "Yes, Someone else will claim me" when you fill out the "Personal Info" section. TurboTax will walk you through the rest.

If you have already filed, there is nothing you can do but wait to see if your return is accepted or rejected.... Did you already submit the return? If your parents' or someone else can claim you, let them know they should wait to e-file their returns until you see what happens with yours. The IRS will start processing on the 12th. If you have not filed yet, you can go back into the personal information section (My Info) and check the box that says ''someone else can claim me''. But you can only do that if you have NOT filed yet. If you have filed already, let us know what happens with the return after the 12th and we can give you instructions on what to do. Don't panic, it is fixable. 😉
