As you are claiming not to support them in your TurboTax return you need to click No, I do not when you are asked the previous question on your return. You can do this by clickingBackat the bottom of the page you are on:
Do you have children or financially support another person? ClickNo, I do not,and thenContinue.
By clickingNothesoftware will no longer ask those questions.
As per Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), you can claim any person that depends on you for financial or physical support. An eligible dependent varies based on the credit or deduction you want to claim.
Important: Claiming a person as a dependent does not mean they don't file their own income tax return. Everyone who earns income needs to file a personal tax return, even when someone else (for example, a parent or grandparent) claims them as a dependent. Even if the defendant has no income, they are still eligible for certain credits, such as GST/HST or other federal or provincial credits.
