@dummy2019!  - you are tagging on tp an unrelated 2 year old post, but that reject code means that the EIN on yiur W-2 is not known to the IRS.

The rejection code IND-517 is used when a dependent's social security number has been claimed on another return as a taxpayer or spouse.  Often this happens when a dependent files their own return and does not indicate that someone else can claim them as a dependent.

In order to fix this, you would have to print, sign & mail your tax return.  The person who erroneously claimed the exemption should amend their return.

I get the error, but have verified my son (who I am claiming) did NOT claim himself as a dependent...I can see he checked the box stating someone else can claim him...I also viewed the form that was sent to IRS...he also used TurboTax....what else could it be as this makes no sense.

I had the exact same thing!!!  Following. .

Could this possibly mean that someone fraudulently claimed my child on their taxes?

[bmurphy1949]

So how do I fix this

[sharon-l-hoffman]

I had the same issue, my dependants did check that someone else could claim them on their return
