Why won't it let me unclick the spouse dependent checkbox when it is giving me an error and not letting me file?

[TunyaI]

if you are trying to update your taxes to remove your spouse as a dependent please follow the steps below:

To remove a dependent from your return, after signing into your return do the following:

• Click on My Info on the left-hand side in the black
• Scroll down under your name and click delete next to their name.

If she really is your dependent and you still wanted to claim her she would need to Amend her return and you would need to mail in your return.
