How can I resubmit my taxes after receiving Reject Code IND-517-02, after my college student dependent subsequently corrected her return to indicate she IS our dependent?

My college student dependent went through the process of filling out forms to change her tax status to dependent and resubmitted her taxes and they were approved. My taxes were correct, but when I resubmit the same way, it continues to reject mine.

You will need to get an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS so that you can e-file your 2024 tax return.  Otherwise you will have to print and mail your tax return.

Go to this IRS website for an IP PIN - https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin

To enter, edit or delete a 6 digit IP PIN

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Other Tax Situations
Scroll down to Other Return Info
On Identity Protection PIN, click the start button

See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to print and mail a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/print-mail-return-turb...

In reddit, there is some evidence that people tried the identity protection PIN route, but ended up still having to submit by mail instead of electronically.  Plus, since it wasn't fraud, I'm worried that requesting the ID protection PIN will throw a bad light on my dependent's return event though she successfully corrected it, or on us for all future returns.  But I also worry that just filing by mail will delay the IRS receiving our payment now that it is April 19! (I just kept clicking resubmit since April 15.)

@rmeades Go to this IRS website for information on using an IP PIN when duplicate SSN have been used on e-filed tax returns - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-takes-steps-to-help-prevent-refund-delays-by-accepting-duplicate-de...

Does this mean my spouse and I need the ID PIN or that I need the ID PIN for my dependent or that I need PINs for all 3 of us?

@rmeades You only need an IP PIN for yourself if you are the first person listed on the tax return.

Thank you!!  I forgot about the fact that my husband is the primary, so just me having a PIN was not sufficient! lol After getting one for him, our taxes were accepted.  Whew! Thanks again!
