Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

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

TurboTax tells me my child doesn't meet the residency requirement, however, I am not exempt individual and she pass a substantial placement test. What shall I do?

I need to obtain ITIN for my daughter and thus I am trying to add her as a dependent on my tax return amendment. I hold an F1 visa but since 5 calendar years have passed I am not an exempt individual anymore. Therefore, she, holding an F2 visa, should not be considered an exempt individual as well (although it's her 4th year in the U.S., I believe it does not matter as the five-year rule applies to me holding an F1 visa, not her).  Shall I just select "U.S. resident" for her to be added, print forms out to correct the selection by hand, and file by mail?
