When doing my taxes I used the standard deduction but then I found out my father took me as a deduction even though I dont live him. He did pay my mom child support last year. How do I change my deduction on this program or do I have to do it all over again

     You don't need to start over. If someone is claiming you as a dependent, you need to check the box on your return "Someone else can claim me on their return."

    1. Login to your account
    2. Go to Personal Info 
    3. 'Select Edit next to your name 
    4. Continue to the Screen "Do any of these apply to you" and select Someone else can claim you on their return."
    5. Then Select Someone will claim you in 2020

    If you already filed the return and you need to make the changes, you need to amend it.

    How do I amend my 2020 return?
