I claimed my son as a dependent and his return was rejected. What happened?

If you claimed your son as a Dependent, he needs to indicate that on his return.  

To do so, follow these steps:

  • Login to your TurboTax Account
  • Click "Take Me To My Return"
  • Click "My Info" from the left-hand side of your screen
  • Click "Edit" next to his name
  • Answer "YES" to the question "Someone else can claim me as a Dependent" and "YES" to "and this person will claim me on their 2018 Tax Return".
  • Finally, walk through the "File" process again to refile his return (Click "File" on the left side of your screen)
