Reject code IND 517 tells us that a dependent on the tax return has already been listed on another return.
You will not be able to file your return electronically this year.
You must file your return by mail.
Change the filing method to "file by mail", print and sign the return, attach copies of your W-2 and any other forms that show withholding amounts, and mail to the address that prints on the TurboTax sheet that prints with the return.
Note that your federal return will be mailed separately form your state return, if you live in a state with income tax.
If you are certain that no one you know could have claimed your child (such as another parent) and that your child didn't file his or her own return you should also file Form 14039 with your return. You can find that form, and more information about it here: When to file Form 14039.
The IRS will process your return normally once processing resumes and later in the year they will send letters to all taxpayers who filed a return with the social security number that was duplicated. Each taxpayer will be asked to provide support for the claim to the dependent.
The IRS will determine which tax return is correct and will adjust the incorrectly filed return. The adjustment can include additional tax, interest, and penalties. If credits were claimed to which the taxpayer was not entitled, the taxpayer whose return is corrected can, in some instances, also be barred from taking certain credits for up to ten years.
