fix an error

Both my filings were rejected because I just found out my daughter claimed herself, even though she was a college student, and I was also claiming her. Now I want to remove her from my filing, how can I do that.

MY DEPENDENT SAID HE COULD NOT BE CLAIMED

Your dependent made a very common mistake often made by teenagers and students who are filing their first tax returns. In MY INFO they should have said that they can be claimed as someone else’s dependent—-but they answered incorrectly and now your e-file is being rejected.

Your dependent will have to amend their return to change the way they answered that question in MY INFO. They cannot amend until their return has been fully processed. But you do not have to wait for them to amend. Waiting will not help you at all.

You can file your return by mail, since mailed returns are not rejected. It will take longer for the IRS to process your mailed return and delay your refund.

OR….Get an IP PIN to e-file.

To remove her, just open your return, delete her from your dependents, and file your return. To do this in TurboTax:

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
Select My Info in the menu.
Select the the trash can next to your daughter's name
