The rejection has me confused. Were you given a reject code?
Has the tax return been rejected because someone else has claimed the dependent?
Is the dependent a qualifying child?
Tests to be a Qualifying Child
- The child must be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half- brother, half- sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them.
- The child must be (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a student, and younger than you (or your spouse if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.
- The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year.
- The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
- The child must not be filing a joint return for the year (unless that joint return is filed only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid).
Assuming the child can be claimed as a qualifying child and given the information that you reported, the 2021 Federal 1040 tax return line 28 should be $1,500.
IRS Form 1040 Schedule 8812 Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents should report:
Line 5 $3,000
Line 12 $3,000
Line 14I $1,500
