IRS e-filing error: IND-517-01

The information inside the TurboTax app says:

 

"If multiple dependents are present in this return, review the Description field.  There will be a number in brackets, like [?], that identifies which dependent is causing this rejection.  For example:  [2] will identify the second dependent from the top."

 

However, it never indicates where I can fiend this so-called "Description" field.  I went into the screen that shows all of my dependents, and nowhere do I see a description field.  How do I find this?

 

Thank yo!

    Look at your Form 1040.   Your dependents are listed on the first page, in the top  half of the form.   

     

    PREVIEW 1040

    I found it, but I'm in the App, not the website version.

     

    Why does intuit offer both?  And if I've paid for the app, can I switch and start using the web based version?

     

    Thanks!

    @spendlove No, you cannot switch from the CD/download to online.   If you are using the CD/download you can use Forms mode and look at your Form 1040.
