@Piscesmommy02 You have not explained ----but I am reading between the lines enough to take a good guess at what happened.
You have a dependent who had a job, filed a tax return and on the dependent's return, the dependent did not mark that they could be claimed as someone else's dependent?
Then you tried to e-file your own tax return claiming your dependent, and your e-file was rejected?
The remedy is for you to file your own tax return that claims your child by mail. You can still claim your child. You cannot e-file.
Your dependent is the one who must prepare an amended return on a Form 1040X. On that form they have to change the way they answered the question in MY INFO that asked if they could be claimed as someone else's dependent.
No need for birth certificates, etc. Then MAIL the amended return to the IRS. Your daughter's refund will not be affected.
