my Taxes were rejected by federal because my son inadvertantly claimed himself as a dependent (his first year doing taxes himself). The error from TurboTax was to create a IRS IP PIN, which I did and entered per your instructions (thank you). I also had my son amend his return and refile with the correct info. Is that everything I need to do to get my taxes acepted?
Yes,assuming nothing else is wrong with your return; i.e., that you don't get some additional error code when you efile again. The workaround for that "dependent claimed self" rejection error is new this year. The IRS allows the first-listed filer (primary filer) on the parent's return to get an IP PIN and resubmit the efile. This, hopefully, prevents the parent from having to file a paper return by mail. Anecdotal reports in this forum state that it does work. And yes, it was correct to have the son amend his return to correctly indicate that someone else can claim him.
Please report back with your results when you find out your efile results.
