If the kid actually provided more than half of his own support, then delete him on the parent's return.

You would determine if the person is not a dependent in 2020. That doesn't mean "not being claimed." It means "no longer qualifies as a dependent." You must correctly address whether they Can be Claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

Why would you want to do that?
In ProSeries Professional you can use Code Q to skip the dependent this year if you don't want to delete the kid's data completely. Like, when IRS wants him to pay back the $1,800 and the parents figure they might as well get $500 plus tuition credit for him.
I'm beginning to wonder if IRS is holding back the $1,400 EIP's for parents, based on 2019 returns, when they already have 2020 returns from the kids that claim themselves.
