HOW DO YOU FIND OUT WHICH SOCIAL IS ALREADY USED

To determine which of your Dependents was already claimed...

To determine which of your Dependents was already claimed, you will need to look at your full Reject Code. The last two digits of the Reject Code tells you which Dependent it was based on the order they are listed on your Form 1040.

For example, Reject Code:

R0000-507-01 - The First Dependent listed on your Tax Return was already Claimed as a Dependent
R0000-507-02 - The Second Dependent listed on your Tax Return was already Claimed as a Dependent
R0000-507-03 - The Third Dependent listed on your Tax Return was already Claimed as a Dependent

Your tax return will reject if

a dependent's Social Security number is listed as a dependent on another tax return, or
the dependent has filed a tax return without indicating that they would be claimed as a dependent on another tax return.

To determine which of your dependents were already claimed, you will need to look at your full Reject Code.

The last two digits of the Reject Code tells you which dependent. It is based upon the order in which they are listed on your IRS Form 1040.

If you did not receive an email with the Reject Code, please follow these instructions: How do I fix a Rejected Return?

For example, Reject Code:

R0000-507-01 - The First Dependent listed on your Tax Return was already Claimed as a Dependent
R0000-507-02 - The Second Dependent listed on your Tax Return was already Claimed as a Dependent
R0000-507-03 - The Third Dependent listed on your Tax Return was already Claimed as a Dependent

After you have determined which dependent is involved:

Verify the dependent's Social Security Number (SSN) matches his or her Social Security Card.
Verify the Social Security number is not the same as the taxpayer's, spouse's, or other dependent's Social Security number.
Verify the Social Security number is unique to this tax return and is not used on any other tax return.

If the Social Security number is not correct or unique, correct the dependent's Social Security number and resubmit the return electronically.

If the Social Security number is correct and unique to this tax return, you cannot e-file the tax return for the current tax year. You must print and file the return by mail.

Do you have a child that might have filed their own return and claimed themself?

Here's how you can fix it:

Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.

Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection.

Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
