How do we correct the return where the "Primary Claim As Dependent Ind" was not checked? The Fed Return was rejected because that was not done.

You would open the return and go back through My Information.  Edit to review the primary (first listed on return) and go back through the interview to check that the person could be and was claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, if that's true and correct.

My 21 year old daughters taxes are being rejected because of this. How does she fix it. She cant be claimed by either her mother or i as she works fulltime and made over $10,000 last year

What exactly was the reject?  Primary Claim As Dependent Ind?  If you did not claim her as a dependent and don't know who did, she will need to paper file her return.

This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.
