In order to indicate that you are being claimed as a dependent by your parents, please follow these instructions:

  • Login to your TurboTax Account
  • Click "Take Me To My Return"
  • Click "My Info" from the left-hand side of your screen
  • Click "Edit" next to your name
  • Answer "YES" to the question "Someone else can claim me as a Dependent" and "YES" to "and this person will claim me on their 2018 Tax Return".

NOTE: If you have already filed your return, you need to start the Amendment process first, and then walk through the steps above. You can click here for instructions on Amending your tax return: How to Change a Tax Return You Already Filed.
