If you are under age 16 and have never filed a tax return, you cannot yet e-file your first year. You can prepare your 2019 return on TurboTax, print it and mail it to the IRS to file it. However, you won't be able to e-file your return until next year.

Make sure you indicate that you can be claimed by someone else when asked.
