TurboTax said I could claim my son as a dependent he is 19 and he made more money than I thought after looking at his W-2s I need to remove him as a dependent since he does not qualify now. How do I do that?

If you have Not filed the 2020 tax return, click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen and delete him has a dependent.

If you have filed the 2020 tax return -

If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 16 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.
