... Must not be the same as the Primary a Spouce SSN on another return where 'PrimaryClaimAsDependantIND' a 'SpouceClaimasDependantINd' is not checked.

I have checked all the SSNs I have listed as dependants, my wife's SSN. I have tripled checked them.

I went into Experian to see if my or my wife's SSN has been used and all the data is normal.

The dependants have not filed their taxes, One is disabled and the other two are minors and have yet to tackle taxes.

So what to look for?

I printed the taxes and took them to the mail so that they are at least in the mail.

But sure would like to know what the issue is.

Very Good!!! You mailed the returns to the IRS and State. Now, the IRS will figure out the issue and get in touch with you. This will take a while so be patient. Someone could have used the Social Security Number of one of your dependents to file a fraudulent return.

Now, for these situations you can identify the dependent as follows:

If you are claiming more than one dependent, review and look for a number in brackets to indicate which dependent is causing the issue. For example: "[2]" will refer to the second dependent from the top.

Thanks. I was looking for that (2) on anything next to a name. I looked on the printed form and online and did not see anything but not giving up.

Hopefully in the near future it will be transparent either from the IRS or some magic will happen.

The IRS will not tell you. But it is possible that someone used one of your SSN's by accident--maybe not even on purpose. Once a SSN is put into the system, it is impossible to e-file another return using that SSN. You did the correct thing by mailing it. The IRS will sort out the duplicate use of the SSN.
