If your parent or another person claims you as a dependent on their tax return, the IRS requires you must indicate yourself as a dependent in your tax return.
There is an entry field within our system that allows you to indicate that you are a dependent.
To locate this question
1) Enter the return, select Taxpayer Information
2) Within the Taxpayer Information page, scroll down to the Dependent indicator entry and select Yes
3) Once the page has been saved, you can view this change to your Form 1040 by using the My Forms feature to verify the Dependent indicator has been set. Depending on the tax year, the line on the Form 1040 may vary.
