Whose tax return is being rejected----your child's? Make sure they said in My Info that they can be claimed as someone else's dependent.

Hi,

I have the same rejection for my child. She was claimed as a dependent on my return, but she has income to report, so she prepared her own return and has "some one can claim you as dependent" box checked. I e-filed my return first successfully. But she was e-filing this past weekend, she got rejected with IND-515-01 reported by turbo tax.

Did enough research, can't figure out why. Other than the suggested reason that it could be ID theft, wondering if it is a bug with Turbo tax, or some form boxes not checked, or any suggestions are highly appreciated.

This reject code means the primary taxpayer's SSN has already been included as the primary taxpayer on another return.

This means that someone has already filed a return using your SSN.

Thanks, and we got that from the code definition.

Since we didn't already file the tax, we suspect it could be fraudulent. But we want to make sure that there is no other mistakes on our side/turbo tax causing it. Hence posting the question here for anyone might have the similar experience.

The IRS—not eFile.com—has rejected your return because the primary Social Security Number (SSN) cannot be the same the primary SSN on another IRS return filed for this tax year.

However, if you are certain you entered your primary SSN correctly, but you keep getting rejected anyway, PRINT your return(s)—IRS and State(s)—and MAIL it in on time. See printing and mailing instructions plus addresses based on your resident state.

After that, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and/or State and discuss your tax return in more detail. If the IRS does not accept your return, because a return under your SSN has been accepted by the IRS ask yourself if you have already filed elsewhere.
