Lacerte should have a way to open a new client which has previously been a dependent. Why should the user have to input all the relevant data, including (usually) the address, but also the birthday? In any dependent’s screen, this should be a way to create a new client. This would also be useful after a divorce, in which you have the secondary taxpayer in front of you, freshly single. This new client should be created with a click of the mouse.
