    In the My Info section of the program when you are editing your personal information, you will land on a screen labeled Let's check for some other situations check the box labeled Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return

    If you are 18 you can be claimed as a dependent by your parents.  Go to MY INFO and click your name.  Go through the screens to the question that asks if someone else can claim you as a dependent.  You need to say YES.
