How do I fix e-file reject F1040-516?
by TurboTax•352• Updated 2 weeks ago
F1040-516 If Form 1040, 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked, then the Primary SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return filed for the same tax year.
Most of the time, this rejection happens when you try to claim an exemption for yourself after somebody else, usually a parent, has already claimed you as a dependent.
Less commonly, you can get rejected with F1040-516 if you entered your Social Security number incorrectly or if somebody filed a return using your Social Security number for a dependent.
