Where do I find the "dependent filer box" when Turbotax says "dependent filer box must be entered"?

In order to indicate that you are being claimed as a dependent by your parents, please follow these instructions:

  • Login to your TurboTax Account
  • Click "Take Me To My Return"
  • Click "My Info" from the left-hand side of your screen
  • Click "Edit" next to your name
  • Answer "YES" to the question "Someone else can claim me as a Dependent" and "YES" to "and this person will claim me on their 2018 Tax Return".
