How to fix and re efile rejection IND-517-02

[user17729123071]

I got an  efile rejection IND-517-02.  My dependant has amended 2025 and obtained an IRS ID but when I enter it by my name or dependant name the resubmits continues with error.  How can I fix and efile?

Since the IRS has already received a tax return with the dependent's Social Security number, you will not be able to e-file your tax return.  Even after the dependent has amended their tax return.

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

What about efiling state?

I already paid to do that .....

@jmtmomo3 A state return cannot be e-filed unless the federal return has been successfully e-filed.  If you file federal by mail you will also have to mail the state return.  When you use online TurboTax the fee is the same whether you e-file or file by mail.

I use turbo tax desk top.

 If you paid the $25 state e-file fee and have to mail your state return, seek a refund for the $25. 

No one in the user forum can resolve a billing issue.  If you have a question about your TurboTax fees or billing, make sure you use the word “billing” in your request for help.  Do not use the word “refund.”

I am trying to fill out the 1040 x for my son.  Where do I put the information to change dependent status?  Do I  still indicate that he is filing single?

Also he filed on the IRS website and I can only find "transcripts" but not his actual 1040

HELP!

His filing status would still be single, what you need to change is to mark that he is a dependent on another return. This question is in the beginning of the return in the My info section, right after you enter his name.  There is a question asking for other situations, you will need to mark that your son can be claimed in another return.  

Regarding the transcript, to amend his return, you will need to recreate his original return, so just enter his information as it was on the original.  Enter all of the income forms he included on his return, and do not mark the question that he is someone else's dependent.  After entering the same income forms, the numbers should match the numbers in the IRS transcript.  

Once you are done with the original return, mark that you are filing it as a paper return, then start the amended return.  As long as everything else is correct, the only change you will need to make is that he is a dependent on another return.  

How do I amend my federal tax return for this year?

I had the same situation with both my Federal and State returns rejected with IND 517-2, when my daughter filed her tax returns without checking box 12a "Someone can claim You as a dependent."

I searched online, and it said to have my daughter obtain an IP PIN from the IRS. (www.irs.gov/getanippin).

She got her IP PIN, and we entered it into our tax returns. 

On TurboTax Desktop, Federal Taxes > Other Tax Situations > Other Return Info (Identity protection PIN).

Resubmitted the e-file. Again rejected IND 517-2.

I decided to obtain my IP PIN and enter it on the return.  Since I was the primary on the return, I just entered mine to see if it would get accepted. After 45 minutes, I received a text message that our Federal returns were accepted.  
*NOTE* My daughter did amend her returns by checking box 12a. You will also have to amend the State returns as well.
Hope this helps.

I ended up just mailing them to the IRS - his amended and ours. 

The IP-Pin did not work.  

Thanks so much for the help.
