I need to fix a F1040-516 issue on my tax filing. I cannot locate the "file" option on the Turbotax site.

"Most of the time, a F1040-516 reject happens when you try to claim an exemption for yourself after somebody else, usually a parent, has already claimed you as a dependent."

 

Why do you want to find the "file" option? Are you looking to amend your return?

 

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

Yes, I am looking to amend my tax return. The page I am repeatedly redirected to is not helping me. It is only listing what a F1040-516 error is.

If your tax return was rejected by the IRS you do not amend the tax return.  You fix the error and e-file the return again.

Are you being claimed as a dependent on someone else's return and need to change your dependency status on your tax return?

If you are not being claimed as a dependent on someone else's return then you can only print and mail the tax return, it cannot be e-filed since a tax return with your Social Security number has already been received by the IRS.
