How do I locate the description field? One of my children's tax return is causing mine to be rejected and I can't figure out which one. I need to find the desciption box.

Turbo Tax says that I can view which dependent child's return is causing it in the description field but I can't locate that.

Look at the order of the dependent's names on your Form 1040 and compare that to the last couple of digits on the rejection notice that shows "01" "02" "03" etc----that will show you which dependent is the issue.   And....the most likely suspect is usually a teenager or student who filed their own tax return and said no one can claim them.

 

GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return

Generally with the reject number there will be a -01 or -02, etc. That usually means dependent 1 or 2.
