Kid's taxes to file?

Your will need to indicate that your child is being claimed by someone else on the return when you fill it out. 

To indicate that the child can be claimed by someone else as a dependent on their return, please see the following instructions:

Log in to the TurboTax Online account that you will use to prepare the return, and click Take me to my return. Next, you will click on Personal Info and after inputting the child's name and information on the first screen, you will come to the following screen and near the bottom, you will find the area to click that the child can be claimed as a dependent by someone else. I will attach a screenshot of that area, so you are better able to locate it.

To file an additional return using TurboTax Online, you will need to create a new account.  Please see the following TurboTax FAQ for instructions on how to start another return using TurboTax Online.
