If Form 1040, 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked, then the Primary SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return.
My parents already filed their taxes. This is my first year not being claimed as a dependent. The person doing my parents taxes left my name and social security number on their form under "Dependents" but did not check any of the boxes or input any amounts to claim me as a dependent. When I filed on TurboTax, I got the error "If Form 1040, 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked, then the Primary SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return...". Does leaving my name and social security number on their form mean I am being claimed as a dependent? Also, will my parents need to amend their form now and if I go ahead and mail in my return now, what will happen?
