How to find out what to enter for dependent?

When you start a new return, TurboTax will ask Do you have children or financially support another person? in the Intro section of your return.

Info about your dependants (like their birth date, their relationship to you, and their income), is used to determine your eligibility for certain credits and deductions, so be sure to enter this info accurately.

Here is a great TurboTax article to help you determine who you can claim as a dependent on your tax return.
