Question

Where Can I amend my 17 year old's 1040 to check the Someone Can Claim: You as a Dependent box so that I (his parent) can claim him as a dependent?

His return was filed in March, accepted and his refund already received. I am now trying to file my taxes and it's getting rejected because DependentSSN is listed on his return and that box isn't checked. I can't find where to update it on an amended return.

dependent status is indicated in the Personal Info section.

Click his name in MY INFO and go through the screens to the question that asks if he can be claimed as someone else's dependent. Answer YES to that.
