What does reject code 517 mean?

Best answer by AnnaB

The rejection code IND-517 is used when a dependent's social security number has been claimed on another return as a taxpayer or spouse. Often this happens when a dependent files their own return and does not indicate that someone else can claim them as a dependent.

In order to fix this, you would have to print, sign & mail your tax return. The person who erroneously claimed the exemption should amend their return.

I have been reject 5 times and my son has not filed his own taxes nor no one else has claimed him. What should I do?

Rejected with code 517? If so, have to try to get a hold of IRS and ask them why, assuming you claimed the right number of exemptions. Can't call them (in my experience) so will have to write to them and wait and wait and wait...Sorry. My tax issue still not fixed either.
