How do I file my return when my parents claimed me on their return?

If someone else—such as your parent—claimed you as a dependent, you must indicate this in your own tax return. This ensures the IRS correctly processes both returns and prevents e‑file rejections.

Where to Indicate That You Were Claimed as a Dependent

Follow these steps after logging in to your account: 

1. Go to Basic Information from the left‑side menu.
2. Select Personal Information.
3. Open Additional Personal Information.
4. Check the box stating that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.
5. Continue to save your changes.
