E-file rejection because of "duplication of HOH qualifying social security number"
Using the step-by-step interview, I entered all the necessary info for me, (divorced with custody and providing support) and my son, (lived with me 365,etc.). All good. Results were that I can file HOH because of my and my son's situation. Unfortunately, this data input also generates the "Dependent and Non-Dependent Info" page. The result is that the "duplicate person error re: qualifying person" error pops up when e-filing. And this is when no other persons had been entered or referred to. I finally figured out that the cure is to delete son's name from that superfluous page.
Under the above circumstances, why does the program generate this unnecessary form, then inform you that an error was made and then, in very ambiguous language, force me to figure out how to correct it. The data gleaned from the interview should provide the necessary information that eliminates this duplication error.
