Yes, this rejection occurs when a taxpayer files their own return without checking the box to say that they are a dependent, and another taxpayer, usually the parent, files a return claiming that taxpayer as a dependent.
If you agree that you are a dependent, you can just check the box, and re-submit you tax return. Here's how to do that:
- Sign in to TurboTax Online and select Fix my return.
- On the Let's fix your return and then refile screen, select Fix it now or Revisit.
- Select My info, then Edit near your name.
- Continue until you get to Let's check for some other situations.
- Select the check box next to, Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
- Select Continue, or Continue to File and continue until you e-file your return.
If this isn't what you want to do, reply back with more details of your tax situation.
