Tax Year Prior to 2020: How do I take off a dependent on the 140 form?

 

 

If you have not filed, to remove a dependent, here are the steps:

 

In TurboTax online,

 

1. Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
2. From the left pane, select My Info
3. On the screen Your Personal Summary, scroll down to Dependents section- find the name and select the trash icon.
4. See the image below

 

If you have already filed, you might need to amend it.  Please write back so I can assist you further.

I will need to amend them 

If you already filed your return you will need to wait to see if it was rejected or accepted. If they were rejected you are able to login to your return to fix what you need to fix and fix the errors that caused the rejection and refile the return. If your returns were accepted, then you will need to file an amended return. You should not try to amend your return until the original return it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.

 

Amended returns do not “catch up” to your original return and replace them; they are processed as two separate returns.  Amended returns have to be printed and filed by mail.  It can take the IRS up to 12 weeks or longer to process them.  

 

If you are due a larger refund than on your original return, your amended return should only show the difference and you will receive a separate check for it.  If you owe money on your amended return, it will show only the new amount owed, you will have to mail a check with the return.
