To get to the area to indicate what type of dependent the individual is, you will log in to your TurboTax Online account, Click Take me to my return, then click on Personal Info. Once in Personal Info you will locate the dependent that you need to edit, and click Edit beside of their name. As you go through the screens for that dependent you will have a place to address the description of the dependent.
There is supposed to a number in brackets in the description field to indicate which dependent is causing the return to be rejected. I can find no such field.
Yes I need help in finding where this “description field” is to figure out what my error is, pls and thank you
If the rejection code ends in -001, then the first dependent is being rejected. Similarly, -002 means the second one, etc.
