Reject code ind 517

What is the proper sequencing of correcting this.  Can I mail in my return right away, while at the same time, my son is amending his return?  Or do I need to have his amended return processed complete, before I move forward?  If I do need to wait, do I need to request an extension? Or?

I just got an email that my return was bounced with a link to click, but the link did nothing but take me to the main page.  I just happened to luck onto this page, but the link in the email should have directed me here.  Horrible customer service.

I have a baby born last year, when I added her as dependent, I got this error. I am pretty sure no one else has added her as dependent and she obviously has not filed for herself. What should I do?

So, we amended my son's return, but do I have to wait for that to be accepted?

@BRGSJG - No, but you must print and mail your return.  The IRS will not allow another e-file with the same SSN this year.  It also take up to 4 months to process an amended return.

Amended returns do not "accept".  The IRS will only return an amended return if it is not signed or does not have the required W-2's or 1099's with tax withholding attached.

A amended (1040X) return can only be mailed - never e-filed.

Thank you! I'm so stressed that I made this stupid mistake.  If I owe, do I include a check because Turbo Tax won't be charging my card, I assume.

[macuser_22]

If you owe, you can pay by check, direct debit,  direct, or Credit Card.

I have this problem and checked my (16) ?year olds son's taxes, which was filed on Turbo Tax and I checked the box that someone could claim him as a dependent, so what is the problem

[taiiat]

I am in the same boat and my daughter clearly checked the box saying someone else can claim her. How do you fix this?

[taiiat]

I found the issue for me, this may help others. My daughter was imported as a dependent from 2016 tax season. I checked myself as caring for her more than half the year, AS I DID. Because of this, she also checked the box saying someone else can claim me as a dependent. When I logged back in,I deleted her as a dependent (as turbotax suggested as a solution) and added her back in. I answered all the questions as I did before, however I noticed an additional question that I did not see before. It asked if she made more than $4060 (I can't remember the exact amount but it was 4 thousand something). I answered yes and turbotax rejected her as a dependent simply because she made more that the maximum amount of money in her part time job. which took an exemption away and raised the amount of taxes I owed by about $600 (argh!!!). My guess is that because she was imported from the previous year, she was already in there as a dependent but when I submitted my taxes, IRS kicked it back because she's already filed and they automatically checked her SSN to see that she made more than the maximum. So mine was rejected. I just resubmitted online with her as a "nondependent" and hopefully it will go through.

Same, how do we fix this? I get the error, but have verified my son and daughter (who I am claiming) did NOT claim himself as a dependent...I can see he checked the box stating someone else can claim him...I also viewed the form that was sent to IRS...he also used TurboTax....what else could it be as this makes no sense.

Everyone needs to STOP posting on this old thread and start a new one with your questions. Better chance of an answer.
 If you have children who were under age 26 and were full time(per the school) students you could to claim them as dependents even if they made more then the income limit.

I have the same problem 😡... I thought my daughter checked wrong box... but no!  I checked her return myself and she answered every question correctly.  I have used turbo tax for at least 10 years and never had this problem... now... over the last month my return has been rejected 5xs  :(  What did you do to get it to go through?  Please advise ASAP.  TY

[UnhappyRejectedReturnUser]

I am having same situation.... any recommendations... other than not using turbo tax next year?  I still need to efile my return,  Any recommendations are appreciated.
