I am single and independent but my parents claimed me as a dependent so I need to fix that on my own taxes.

If you haven't filed your taxes then follow these steps:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click “My Info” tab in the black bar on the left side of your screen.
  3. Click “Edit” next to the name.  
  4. Scroll down to the first question in Section 3: “A few other things we need to know”
  5. Select "Yes" to the question "Someone else can claim me as a dependent on their tax return"

 

If you have already filed then you will need to amend your return to make changes. Please see How to amend a tax return for instructions.
