Question

My daughter's 2019 return shows that she was claimed as a dependent. However, I did NOT claim her, as she's no longer a student. How can I fix her 2019 return?

She will have to prepare, print and mail an amended return form 1040X to uncheck the box that says she can be claimed by someone else. Do not change the original tax return and she starts the amended return.

Amended returns can't be efiled. They must be printed and mailed. TurboTax does not print and mail them. The filer must do that. In normal times, the IRS takes about 16 weeks to process an amended return. The process can be tracked using this web site: https://www.irs.gov/filing/wheres-my-amended-return
