I Just Did This

Log Into Turbo Tax

Go To 'Your tax returns and documents'

Select  Tax Year You Want To Make Dependent Change To (Ex: 2018 or 2019)

On The Right Hand Side Select 'Amend/change' > Amend Using Turbo Tax

Go Next To Your Name And Personal Info And Click EDIT, 

Scroll down to 'Someone can Claim Me" , > UNCLICK

Continue Until the End, Print The PDF, Send ASAP To IRS To Get The Changed Reported. 

May Take 12-16 Weeks But They Will Be Aware of The Change and May Issue A Check.
