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.

While her amendment was accepted, amended returns can take 3-4 months to process. Mail your return.

You'll need to file by mail as your daughter's amended return may take up to 12 weeks to be processed.
