No one can see your tax return or any of your information. We have no idea who you are trying to claim as a dependent. Provide some details.

Meanwhile---

IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:

As xmasbaby0 mentioned, you can check the IRS interview to determine who can be claimed as a dependent.

Also, go to the My Info section in TurboTax Online. Under Your Household make sure that you have answered all questions correctly for the individual you are claiming as a dependent.
