Question

When filing I did not check the box asking if someone else is claiming me as dependant. I am mailing in my taxes and have not mailed them yet. How can I resolve this?

I filed for my 17 year old grandson who's father can still claim him as a dependant but accidentally did not check the box saying someone can claim him. We did not file electronically and haven't mailed his taxes. How can I fix this.

This is your teenage grandson's return----and he needs to say he can be claimed as someone else's dependent? The easiest fix since you say you are going to mail it, it to take out a pen and put a big X on the box by someone can claim you as a dependent. It is just below the name and address--near the words Standard Deduction.
