Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Turbo tax will not allow my son to ez file since he is claimed on his parents taxes (based on ss#). He is not independent. This is his first time to ever file.

My son made less than $2000 for 2018. He tried to ez file his taxes & it would not let him due to his ss# showing he is being claimed by the parents. How do we get it to file online?

If your son had tax withheld from his pay and is seeking a refund, he needs to say on his own return that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.  If his e-file is rejected, then the return can be printed, signed and mailed.
