If I was asked to enter the amount of income the person who claims me as a dependent makes while filling out my own taxes, how do I change that number if it won't let me?

I was asked to list the amount of income the person who claims me as a dependent (from their Form 1040) but TurboTax will not let me go back to edit this number.

If you are using TurboTax Online, 

  1. Go to Search in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
  2. Search the term "kiddie tax"
  3. On the first search result, click Jump to kiddie tax

     

That will take you through the section for a child with unearned income, and you can edit your entries there.
