Hi,
Issue is that no one claimed me for this year. My parents didn’t claim the credit per them and their tax woman, so why is my SSN already on something else if no one filed on my behalf? TurboTax is the one that said the AOC applied to me last year and then the Lifetime one this year, I’m literally only going off what Intuit told me to do which is fill in the 1098-T. There was never a page that said “Okay, time to fill out your form 8863.” This is the 4th time I’ve had to redo this despite getting green checkmarks the whole way through and the “guarantee” that they got every credit possible for me. If I can’t claim a credit why does TurboTax keep insisting that yes I can.
It is an IRS reject. TurboTax can only tell you what you are entitled to claim and has no access to IRS records of another taxpayer.
If the IRS records indicate that the SSN has been used either as a mistake on somebody else's return or an IRS error then there is no way that YOU can fix that. All you can do is paper file a correct tax return and let the IRS sort it out.
No matter what you do, you will not be able to e-file this year as long as you claim it.
