It sounds like you may have your adult son, entered into your return. He could have carried forward from a prior year or was added at some point to see if he would qualify, etc. 

To remove him, so that you won't be asked extra questions about him:, follow the steps below:

  • Log into the software and select the blue button Take me to my return
  • Select Personal Info from the top
  • Then scroll down to the Dependents  section and you should see your son listed. Select Edit.
  • On the next screen you should see him listed and can click Delete to remove him.
