Parent planning to claim me, but they haven't filed yet. When asked what their taxable income is when I file, I don't know that right now, how do I continue?

I'm filing right now, and I know my mom plans to claim me, so TurboTax is asking me what her taxable income is, I don't know that information right now. How do I continue with my filing process?

You may want to go back and edit the Personal Information section and say "Someone can claim me" and then if they don't claim you, you can file an amended return later.

Either that or an extension, as you do not know their income.
