i need to change my dependent status since my parents claimed me as a dependent on their taxes.

Click your name in MY INFO.   Go through the screens to the question that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent and answer YES.

You can do this in the personal info section.  Go back to Personal Info>>edit>> walk through the questions until you come to the one that says someone else can and will claim me as a dependent on their return this year.

That question never comes back up after clicking "revise" under "MY INFO" for me (There is no "edit" option, has there's been some kind of update?).

For Online TurboTax, here are detailed steps on how to view or correct dependent status "claimed" question:

• In the left menu column go to the MY INFO tab.
• Then you're likely to get a screen "Updated Summary of Your Situation" with a section that says "Your info".
• In that first section on that screen (where it has your name, SSN, birthdate, etc.) click on a blue button REVISIT.
• Then march through the screens (maybe 3 or so) until you get to one that says "Let's check for other situations."
• Lower on that screen right after "state of residence" you should see a section "Select any other situations that apply."
• One of the checkboxes should say "Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return."
• If "yes", then it should be followed by a question "Will this person claim you on their 2025 tax return?"  Yes or no.
• Continue answering or reviewing until you finish that section and get back to the summary screen.
