You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal 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 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 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.


See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-already-filed/L4VjJ9BA2_US_en_US?uid=ld1n99kr

 

You change your dependency in the My Info section of the online tax return by editing your personal information.

I see that I can add dependents but I’m not seeing a option for changing my dependency 

Is this the right area?

@01ebc0368386 That is the correct area.  Since you are using a Phone and not a computer, I believe you need to scroll down further and there should be a question that asks Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
