Question

Rejection code IND-517-01. I've filed the parents and the dependent child returns. Child is being claimed on parents return. Not sure why parents return is rejected.

I filed the parents return with the dependent child. I also filed the child's return and listed her as being claimed by the parents. However, the parents return has been rejected saying the child has already filed. I reached out to the parents and they said the child has NOT filed their return. Any insights other than paper filing the parents.

Someone else filed a return using the child's SSN. Accidentally or on purpose.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

I filed the child's return and hit the correct boxes that the child is being claimed by the parents.

Then someone else has filed a return in that child's SSN.   You'll be filing the parents by paper.

If the child is a teenager, he may have used a phone app "just to see what his refund would be" and ended up filing it himself.

I have the same problem. Can I correct it by superseding the child's return?
