Question

claim parent as a dependent

My federal tax is rejected because my mom whom I claimed as my dependent is listed as my dad's spouse.  My dad intentionally indicated he will not file jointly with my mom.  What did I do wrong? Please help.

You MIGHT not have done anything wrong.  I've seen quite a few similar situations this year.  It may be a 'glitch' in the programming somewhere.

 

You will just need to file by mail.
