Question

My return keeps getting rejected because initially my parents claimed me in error (just failed to remove me from previous years) they amended their return & removed me?

But now I am still getting rejected, what do I have to do to get mine to go thru?

Your parents already put your SSN into the system, so that e-filing will not work for you.  Waiting for their amended return to be processed will not help you. You can print, sign and date your own return in ink, and file it by mail, or you can try getting an IP PIN and see if you can e-file.

 

GET IP pin in order to e-file if your SSN was claimed on another return
