Last year she worked also. When I filed taxes I was asked how much she earned and then was told she did not need to file as the amount was low. I do not see this option this year. If she files herself can I still claim here as a dependent?
Yes. As long as she answers Yes to (Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return) in her personal information page. Question 3, first topic.
Your dependent would need to file their own return to report their W-2.
They will also need their own TurboTax Online Account to do this.
Each Online Return is identified by a Unique Username
You may use the same email address and phone number as your account.
You may have up to 5 accounts linked to a single email address.
They just need to indicate that can be claimed as a dependent in their Personal Info by answering Yes to the question
Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
They may qualify for the TurboTax Freedom edition here:
