Additional Dependents

---

To enter more than 4 dependents on a return

Enter the first 4 dependents on the Main Information Sheet.

On Form 1040, click the first line of the Dependent Information section for the dependent's first name.

Press F9, or right-click and opt to link to a New Additional Dependent worksheet.
Enter additional dependent information on this worksheet.

You need to manually enter the last name of each dependent on this worksheet, even if it is the same as the taxpayer's last name. If your client qualifies for the Earned Income Credit (EIC) or the Child Care Credit, you must enter the dependents who qualify for this on the Main Info Sheet itself.
