How do I fix e-file reject SEIC-F1040-506-02?
by TurboTax• Updated 3 months ago
If you receive e-file reject code SEIC-F1040-506-02, it means someone else has already claimed the Earned Income Credit (EIC) for a child on your return.
Usually the custodial parent gets to claim the EIC, even if the non-custodial parent is claiming the Child Tax Credit under a divorce decree or other agreement.
If you're the parent entitled to claim the EIC, paper-file your return instead of e-filing it. The IRS will then contact both parents to determine the eligible recipient of the EIC. The non-eligible parent will have to pay back any taxes, penalties, and interest for the duplicate claim.
To e-file (instead of paper file) your return, you’ll need to remove your child from the EIC and let the other parent claim them. This won’t affect your Child Tax Credit.
Select your product and follow the instructions.
