When you enter your personal information in the My Info section of the program there will be a screen asking if you can be claimed as a dependent, answer Yes.

If your parents (or someone else) is claiming you on their tax return, when completing your taxes, make sure that you state that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. ‌TurboTax can handle that for you.

 

Refer to the TurboTax article: How do I indicate that I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return? for detailed navigation instructions.

I see "are you a full time student"  Are your parents both living Dec 2024 but  don't see a screen asking if you can be claimed as a dependent.  After entering Yes to both when I review I see "You didn't support yourself." I d I just need to be sure that accomplishes the same thing. Thanks for your  help
