Question

Rejection due to dependent claimed on another return

Tax return was rejected because a dependent was claimed as a dependent on another return.  Client has 4 kids.  Instructions say there will be a number in brackets for the dependent causing the rejection.  Here is the exact rejection:

Form: 0(00)
Field: *****2846(/efile:Return/efile:ReturnData/efile:IRS1040[1]/efile:DependentDetail[2]/efile:DependentSSN)
Occurrence: 00000(0001)
 

Which bracketed number is the cause of the rejection?

Thanks!
