My federal got rejected with Reject Code IND-517-02. So I amended my son's taxes and mark box saying he can be claimed as a dependent. I still can't fill my taxes.

Did you get the IP PIN for you and your dependent?  There seems to be some confusion on this.  You seem to be the only person that got this to work by e-file.

I thought I was replying to Gumpy67 but instead it adds my reply to the bottom of the thread with no way of understanding who I was talking to.

@g8crasher let me tell you what I did I got the IP PIN for everybody me, spouse, and dependent. I personally think I just needed IP PIN but for same of peace of mind I included everybody's pin. My Federal return was accepted by the IRS and my dependent amended their return before I submitted mine

[g8crasher]

So i tried doing just my IP Pin and the IRS rejected it.  Then I added my daughter's IP pin and it was accepted.

I will mail in my return, but I had contacted Turbo Tax and had a case number issued. They told me that once my daughter's return is accepted by the IRS I can efile again. Apparently they don't know what they are talking about.

Just to double check the IP Pin was for yourself not the dependent correct? Just wanted to make sure before I submitted the wrong pin.

@g8crasher So I got the IND-517-02 rejection code. I fixed my return and added the dependent IP Pin and efiled and again it got rejected. Then I went and got myself a IP Pin and added mine to it as well so it had both my Pin and the dependent pin and re-efiled again and this time I got an accepted response. So far so good. Hopefully this helps you.

Thank you, this worked for me also after having my daughter amend her return and waiting for hers to be accepted again. We'll see how it goes.

I have a family of four: mom, dad and two dependent daughters.  One daughter did her taxes right, the other left the 'claim you as a dependent' box unchecked.  Both their returns were accepted, and mine was rejected (because I was last to file).  The feedback above seems to indicate you need at least an IP PIN for both the filer and the dependent who mis-filed to get the return accepted. My question is: will all 4 of us need to get IP PINs to have my family return accepted?

[kristinathan]

I had the same concern. And nearly the same situation, my wife and I filing jointly and two dependents. One dependent did hers incorrectly. She amended hers without the IP pin. I got an IP pin for only me and not my wife or other child. I was able to E file and got the messages back from state and federal that it was accepted. so far so good.

So, I would be very grateful if you could please confirm:

Situation: Your family of four (parents and 2 dependents).  One dependent mis-filing with an unchecked dependent box.

Solution: You fixed the situation with only 2 (two) ID pins for

 - One parent (the one filing the return)

- One Dependent (the child who mis-filed with an unchecked 'dependent box'.)

- You did NOT get ID pins for the spouse nor the other child who filed correctly.

After you confirm the above, I would be very grateful if you could also please advise:

 - How long after the dependent child submitted an Amended Return did you wait before re-submitting the rejected return with the IP Pins added? Did you resubmit immediately after your Dependent's Amended Return was accepted?  If not, how long afterwards?

Many Thanks!

So just one more note of woe to add for all those who had a dependent mis-file with the 'someone can claim me as a dependent' error (IND-517-02).

While it appears that some people have had success with a re-submission using ID PINs, there is one more 'gotcha' of which people should be aware.  If the dependent who mis-filed with the 'dependent box' not checked is <18 years of age, they will not be able to use the IRS website to obtain an ID PIN.  So, if you are like me, and your 17-year-old has futzed it up, you will not be able to e-file and you're stuck with mailing in paper forms.

I wish you all better luck in controlling your 17-year-olds than I have had.

My daughter forgot to check the box that said I can claim her as a dependent.  She filed.  I was unable to efile my taxes as a result.  We had her amend her return.  I still could not efile.  I had her get an IP pin and I still could not efile.  We tried one more option where I requested an IP pin for this year, and I submitted efile with her IP pin and my IP pin (but not my wife's) and this time the efile went through!  2024 tax year, and just today it went through.

Timing wise - daughter corrected her return and refiled Sunday, and today is Wednesday - so that is fairly fast turn around.

I got the following rejection text -
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
IND-517-02 - 'DependentSSN' in the return must not be the same as Primary or Spouse SSN on another return where Primary or Spouse have not indicated that they could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. Visit Link to IRS.gov for additional information. To electronically file with this duplicate condition, an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) will be required. If you wish to get an IP PIN and you don't already have an account on IRS.gov, then you must register to validate your identity. Please visit www.irs.gov/getanippin for further information and resubmit your return with an IP PIN.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I did the following-

1. Filed an amendment return for my daughter with the correction. Someone can claim me as dependent checkmark was missed in my daughter’s return. This change also had an effect on her state taxes.

2. As per the rejection email, got the IP PIN for MYSELF and retransmitted by return.

Did 1. In the morning and 2. in the night. Basically both in the same day.

Returns were accepted!

How long did it take to get your IP PIN?
