How do I fix this? I can't seem to go back to that option. Thanks!

Please note that if you have already e-filed you will have to prepare an amended return to mark the box that someone else can claim you. You CANNOT e-file an amended return. Your amended return MUST be PRINTED and MAILED. It usually takes 2-4 months for an amended return to be processed.

You should also advise your father that he WILL NOT BE ABLE TO E-FILE this year.

Please follow these steps to indicate that you will be claimed as a dependent by someone else:

Sign in to your TurboTax account
Click on Take me to my return (orange button)
Click on Personal Info tab
Click blue Edit button to right of your name
On Your personal info screen scroll down to Question 3
Make sure you have clicked the radio button for Yes next to Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return

question 3 is not on my "your info" page. Apparently when I claimed independent and confirmed, it disappeared? I have not filed yet, just working with the software.
