The My Info tab contains your personal information and the information of people that you are claiming as dependents. There are many requirements to claim someone as a dependent there are many requirements and one of them is providing financial support. 

 

If you are claiming your child, then that child should not have provided more than half of their own support.  If you are claiming a relative (like a parent) then you need to provide more than half of their support.  For more rules on who you can claim as a dependent see the following TurboTax article:
