Revise filing

Im considering updating my return to add my 23 year old daughter as a dependent as she made very little this year and I believe it would be more beneficial to include her on mine. She's a college student and lives at home...but works only part time.

Not sure whhat is best.

 

Thanks

To add your daughter as a dependent, see How do I add or remove a dependent?

 

To undo an amended return, select the version you are using:
