Yes her return should reject if you claimed her.   All she has to do is fix it an efile again. She doesn’t have to amend it.     No problem and it won’t affect your return.  Good thing she filed after you or that would be a bigger mess if your return rejected.  

More than likely, her tax return will be rejected because someone else has claimed her.  She can fix the reject by indicating in the software that she used that She is being claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.  The only reason why she would do an amendment would be if her tax return is accepted.   This won't have an impact on your tax return.  If her return is accepted, she should amend it because her standard deduction will be lower since you are claiming her as a dependent.  If your daughter claimed education credits, she should remove those when she fixes the reject or does an amendment because you should enter the education credits on your tax return since she is your dependent.  

We can't contact you from this forum.   Did you e-file your returns?   Can you check the status?      How do I check my e-file status?   Are you trying to use Refund Processing to pay your TurboTax fees?    Refund Processing Service     Remove Pay With Your Refund

Regarding stock and options, options are covered transactions and the broker reports them for Box A. Detail Reporting Exception: if you summarize Box A or Box D, Form 8949 is not needed for transactions without adjustments. No mailing is necessary. No attachment is necessary. As an active investor, be aware that your category Box A or Box D sales without adjustments do not require Form 8949, so there is no reason to import or key in those transactions. Instead use the "enter a summary" option to put your numbers on Schedule D Line 1a or Line 8a. No mailing is necessary. If you have wash sales, it gets more complicated since those adjusted transactions have to be itemized on Form 8949 and the summary totals adjusted accordingly. Generally you shouldn't see wash sales on spreads unless you trade the same spread frequently in a 60-day period.   @makeitreynes 

There are several options when you have a tax bill that you don't have the money to pay.  Refer to the following articles: How to Pay Taxes: 10 Ways to Pay Your Tax Bill, Unable to Pay Your Tax Bill? Here’s What To Do, and the IRS article What if I can’t pay my taxes?   For taxpayers who are unable to pay their taxes because of a permanent situation, they can apply for an Offer in Compromise from the IRS.  An Offer in Compromise can let the taxpayer settle their tax bill for less than the amount due.  ‌ Review the information for an Offer in Compromise.   You didn't indicate what state you live in, but your state may have a similar program.  You can visit your state’s Department of Revenue for more information.  Review the TurboTax article How do I contact my state's Department of Revenue? to find your state.

Hi.  Thank you for your reply, This is a new situation for us as she's never filed before. This box should have been checked on her return because she stated it should be when she went to prepare her taxes, but they made the error (not Intuit Turbo Tax, she used a different service). I claimed her on my taxes a couple of weeks ago and it went through fine as usual.  She e-filed just today in the afternoon but I don't know yet if it was accepted. Will her tax returns be rejected by federal and state because I already filed and claimed her? Will she have to file an amendment? Would it affect my filing in any way? Appreciate your knowledge in this as well!

Hello @xpandora @farr38 @cyan,    This validation is triggered when the requested non-capital loss claim surpasses your 2024 income. Please be aware that the deductible amount is restricted to the lesser of the available non-capital losses and your 2024 income.   To rectify this, access the "Losses" topic within the "Deductions" section of your 2024 tax return, select "Non-Capital Loss Carry Forward," and revise the claimed amount to align with, but not exceed, the income amount displayed on the step Non-Capital Losses Being Claimed as illustrated in the image below.      Hope this helps with the correction. Let us know if you have more questions.    

Hi.  Thank you for your reply, This is a new situation for us as she's never filed before. She e-filed but I don't know yet if it was accepted. Is that what would likely happen, that her tax returns will be rejected by federal and state because I already filed and claimed her? Will she have to file an amendment? Would it affect my filing in any way? Appreciate your knowledge in this!
