Now what? IND-516-01 - If Form 1040, 'PrimaryClaimAsDependentInd' is not checked, then the Primary SSN must not be the same as a Dependent SSN on another return.

An IND-516 rejection is due to your SSN being claimed on another persons taxes as a dependent. Either check that you entered your SSN correctly or that you are not being claimed as a dependent.

This error indicates that the person filing the return is also listed as a dependent of another taxpayer.  

 

You can update the answer to the question "Are you claimed as a dependent on another tax return?" to say yes if this is how it should be, and re-file the return. 

 

If you are not a dependent of another taxpayer, then you must print and mail your return.  At some point down the line, the IRS will send information requests to you and to any taxpayer who listed you as a dependent to ask for support of the claim.  They will then adjust the tax return for the taxpayer who has you incorrectly classified.
