 The rule is not that "somebody" should get money by claiming a dependent.   The rule is that the person with whom the dependent LIVED for at least 183 nights during the tax year is the one who can claim the dependent.   And now you reveal that the children spent only about 40 nights with you.    Claiming the children on a 2024 tax return has nothing to do with your living situation in 2023.   You can only claim the children  on a 2024 return if they lived with you for at least 183 nights in tax year 2024   Again....the IRS will not tell you if someone else used a child's SSN.  There is no way for you to find out who--if anyone--claimed one of the children unless the person who claimed the child actually tells you they did so.       Try using this IRS tool to see about claiming a dependent. IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed: https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/who-can-i-claim-as-a-dependent       

What was rejected?   Your original 2022 state return or your amended return?   It is years too late to e-file any sort of 2022 return.  A 2022 return can only be filed by mail.  You have to print it , sign it and date it in ink, and mail it in to the state.     But....if the original was rejected, you do not "amend" it---you only use the "amend" process to make corrections to a return that was accepted and fully processed.   So--it is important to know what you are saying was rejected.       No, you cannot do anything to a 2022 return using online software.   If you are trying to change something on a 2022 return, that can only be done be using downloaded desktop software on a full PC or Mac.   If you are trying to amend your original 2022 return, you must have attempted to e-file it in 2023.   When it was rejected, you received an email telling you why the return was rejected.   No matter why it was rejected, the only way to file 2022 now is by mail.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe  

You should read my responses before answering please I'm not trying to fix anybody else's tax return I'm trying to claim the money that is still there to claim for my children that did not get claimed on anybody's tax return I don't think so I'm asking how to find out if they put on somebody else's tax return or easily enough how to find out if they're social security numbers were used on anybody's tax return who cares if they weren't used then I'm going to go back and amend my return because I did live there more than half the year if you read my comments respectfully you would see that I moved out at the beginning of October I paid all the bills therefore my kids lived with me something like 40 days of the year that's why I claimed the two I claimed I know the laws on Hawaii and how you can claim children I've been doing this for 25 years since I have a 26 year old son who is not part of this family so I understand how and when and why you can claim somebody please respond to how I find out if they're social security numbers were used so that I can amend my return because somebody should get that money right

Dear TurboTax: Please respond to this poster's issue.  I tried to use TT for the year ended 2024, but could not because of this installment sale issue.  I ended up purchasing TT, then had to pay H&R Block to file my returns, instead.  I'll give you one more try.  I'll try to use TT for my 2025 return.  But if this issue isn't resolved in 2025, this 25-year TT user will be moving on to a different tax software. 

CAN I USE TURBOTAX TO AMEND IF THE RETURN WAS PREPARED SOMEWHERE ELSE?   If you did not use TurboTax to prepare your tax return, it is possible to amend the return using TurboTax but it will really be a pain.  It would be better to use the software or service used to file originally.  If a paid preparer made a mistake on your tax return, that tax preparer should do the amended return for you at no charge. In order to use TurboTax to amend your return, you need to purchase the desktop software for the tax year and re-create the return EXACTLY as it appeared when it was filed with the IRS/states.  Every line has to be the same.  Then you have to "trick" the software into thinking you filed by saying you will mail the return. (but do not mail it)   AFTER that, you use the software to prepare a Form 1040X, which has to be printed, signed and mailed to the IRS.  It takes the IRS about 4-6  months to process an amended return   https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/ You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Did you prepare and file your 2024 return using TurboTax?   If so: Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)     See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -   CURRENT YEAR https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-federal-tax-return-current-year/L7eS6o1qh_US_en_US?uid=lfunevhk     Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.     You can watch for information here: https://www.irs.gov/Filing/Individuals/Amended-Returns-(Form-1040-X)/Wheres-My-Amended-Return-1
