Most of the time, this rejection happens when you try to file a return where you aren't a dependent after someone else, usually a parent, has already claimed you as a dependent.
If that is the case and you agree that you were a dependent for 2023:
- Sign in to TurboTax Online and select Fix my return.
- On the Let's fix your return and then refile screen, select Fix my return.
- 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.
- When you're finished, select Continue to File and continue until you e-file your return.
If you don't agree that you were a dependent, carefully check your name and Social Security number. If there are any errors, correct them and re-file your return.
If you aren't a dependent for 2023, and your name and Social Security number are correct, you need to print and mail in your tax return.
