In the past I have purchased the Turbotax CD which gave me the option of filing a return for my teen and college age dependents who have earned income.

I can't file my own taxes until I have their AGI because I'm being asked for that.

What are my options now?

Where is it asking for your children's AGI? Are you referring to the screen that asks if they made more than $5050? If they are full-time students it does not matter. Make sure you said in MY INFO that they were students in 2024. We have seen some users who miss an important screen in My Info titled "Less Common Situations" on which you need to click that they were a student.

Are you using the Online web version this year? You can still buy the Desktop installed program, it just comes as a download now and you can buy an install CD later for $10. So you can switch and move your return to Desktop again. Online is only good for 1 return per account. And several other differences from the Desktop program which you might have noticed. We can tell you how to swtich.

If you started in the Online version you can switch to the Desktop program and continue without paying for Online. How to switch…….
