My daughter's returns are getting rejected. It has something to do with the fact that we(her parents) claimed her as a dependent on our taxes. Why is this happening?

She was 18 last year, was in school full time, and we claimed her on our taxes. Our younger child who was 17 last year was claimed by us as well, but there was no problem with her returns. What could be the issue with the 18 year old?

The reason your 18-year-old's tax return was rejected is that she did not indicate on her return that she can be claimed as a dependent while you are claiming her as a dependent and have already filed.

To correct this error, on her return, revisit the My Info section, answer correctly each question and most importantly indicate that she can be claimed as a dependent by someone else. Then you can resubmit her return.

On her own return she needs to make sure that in MY INFO that when asked if someone else can claim her as a dependent she said YES that she can be claimed.   Sounds like she said no one can claim her, which is a reason for her e-file to be rejected if you already filed and claimed her.
