Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you for y our answer. She definitely checked that she can be claimed as a dependent... I  just double-checked. The only reason she filed this year is that we needed to claim her as a dependent... also related to the stimulus checks.  Below is the reason Turbo Tax gave us for the rejection. We have 4 sons as well as our dependents. My oldest turned 18 in Feb. 2021, but he has never filed taxes. So, it has to be about claiming my mother-in-law as a dependent.  Should I mail it in? Wait t e-file again? Her tax return was accepted but we just filed it late last week.  Thank you for any help you can give me.
