Whose tax return is being rejected----your child's? Make sure they said in My Info that they can be claimed as someone else's dependent.

Hi,

I have the same rejection for my child. She was claimed as a dependent on my return, but she has income to report, so she prepared her own return and has "some one can claim you as dependent" box checked. I e-filed my return first successfully. But she was e-filing this past weekend, she got rejected with IND-515-01 reported by turbo tax.

Did enough research, can't figure out why. Other than the suggested reason that it could be ID theft, wondering if it is a bug with Turbo tax, or some form boxes not checked, or any suggestions are highly appreciated.

This reject code means the primary taxpayer's SSN has already been included as the primary taxpayer on another return.

This means that someone has already filed a return using your SSN.

Thanks, and we got that from the code definition.

Since we didn't already file the tax, we suspect it could be fraudulent. But we want to make sure that there is no other mistakes on our side/turbo tax causing it. Hence posting the question here for anyone might have the similar experience.
