How do I know which dependent is causing my return to be rejected?

[Rachel_W · Accepted solution]

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 was based on the order they are listed on your Form 1040.  If you didn't 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
