Question

Why doesn’t TurboTax ask for dependent relationship until you check for errors?

Yes, it does, when you click the "Add a Dependent" button in the personal section, the first question is if this child is your own child or another person. If you click "my child" it asks if this is your son or daughter. If you click another person it asks for relation to you. If you don't answer, while in error check mode it may ask again for verification in review.

But this is a dependent from last year. Why didn’t it transfer that info?

Level 15

Are you sure you are using the account you used last year? If you had a dependent last year, all that information would transfer over year to year.
