Amended 2020 Fed Tax to Change Child to Independent, But Child's Submitted 2020 Taxes Were Rejected Instantly Today
Successfully amended my 2020 Taxes to change adult child's status from Dependent to Independent. Amended form was e-Filed using TurboTax and then "Accepted" by the IRS. The only change was child's status. Submitted child's 2020 Taxes two days later, and it was instantly rejected for 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' because "SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return filed for the same tax year."
Sounds like IRS database hasn't recognized my child's change to Independent. What should I do? Should I e-File the child's 2020 Tax forms again in a couple weeks? or do we HAVE to printout child's 2020 Tax forms and mail them in?
