I keep getting rejected by the IRS for this reason...can anyone help? This is for an unsuccessful adoption. I was able to go back and select no for disabled, but it was trying to force me to put in a birth year. I got past it somehow, but then when I re-submitted I got rejected by the IRS a second time.
Description of error:
For each child who is born before 2002 per the 'ChildBirthYr' on Form 8839, the corresponding checkox 'DisabledChildOver18Ind' must be checked.
What needs to be done:
Review Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses. The child's year of birth must be a valid 4 digit year. After reviewing and making corrections, resubmit this return for electronic filing. If the reject continues you may want to print this return and file by mail.
