Leonard...Most on this thread understand the reason why rejection code 517 is generated. But many, like me now, have this issue: efiled my daughter's taxes, accepted and got full refund of all paid in, made $2900 at summer job, BOXES ARE CHECKED "I can be claimed as a Dependent on Someone Else's Tax Return" and "I Will be Claimed as a Dependent by Someone Else". I verified by looking at my daughter's printed tax return, as filed, that no personal exemption was taken for her on either Federal or State (AR). So my daughter's return is all correct.
But yet when I claim her as a Dependent, which she is, I receive the rejection code 517. This is either a TT issue (most likely) or an IRS issue. In any event, my daughters and my taxes were seemingly filed correctly but mine was rejected for a reason that is incorrect.
This is the same thing many on this thread are saying. Can you help or shed any light on what the problem is? TIA.
