2020 Rejection

[TURTLE55]

My daughter filed her taxes and selected "someone else can claim me" now when i file and claim her why am i getting a rejection code R0000-507-01?

The IRS rejected your Federal Tax Return  because a dependent on your return has already been claimed by another person OR the dependent filed their own return .

You have to file on paper.

but she qualify's as a dependent and she selected "someone else can claim me" on her return, why would i not be able to claim her?

Just to be sure ... LOOK at her form 1040 ... if she did not check this box then she needs to amend her return.  If not then someone else either on purpose or by accident used her info already ... but no matter what your ONLY option this year will be to mail in your return.
