State tax filing

I'm not sure from what you posted, but it sounds like your dependent filed and maybe claimed themselves?  Now your are trying to file and getting a reject saying your dependent was already a primary taxpayer on another return?

 

Unfortunately you will need to file a paper return because there is no way to get around the e-file system once your dependent has already filed and claimed themselves.  Paper file with your dependent included on your return.

This article will give instruction on how to print and mail your return.

 

Your dependent will need to amend their return to indicate someone else is claiming them.

See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.
