Dependent Was Claimed On Another Return

If your return was rejected because your dependent was claimed on another return, you have 2 options.

First Option: You can remove the dependent and e-file your return. Once you have received your refund you can amend your return, adding the dependent back to the return and submitting it to the IRS. The IRS will review the amendment to determine who has the right to claim the child and adjust the tax returns appropriately.

To remove the dependent and resubmit the electronic return:

  1. From within your TaxAct return (Online or Desktop), click Federal. On smaller devices, click the menu icon in the upper left-hand corner, then click Federal.

  3. Click Delete to the right of the dependent(s) you need to remove. Click OK to confirm.
  4. Click Filing. On smaller devices, click the menu icon in the upper left-hand corner, then click Filing.
  5. Choose the E-File radio button
  6. Continue through the e-file steps to resubmit your return

Once your return has been accepted by the IRS, you can go back into your return and create the amendment, adding the dependent back to the return and requesting the additional refund, if applicable.

To create your amendment (after the original return has been accepted):

PRINT A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL RETURN - IT WILL BE YOUR ONLY COPY AFTER MAKING ANY CHANGES FOR THE AMENDMENT

  1. From within your TaxAct return (Online or Desktop), click Federal. On smaller devices, click the menu icon in the upper left-hand corner, then click Federal.
  2. Click Basic Information  in the Federal Quick Q&A Topics menu to expand the category and then click Dependents and Other Qualifying Persons
  3. Click Add to add a dependent
  4. The program will proceed with the interview questions for you to enter the information for the dependent(s) removed in the previous set of steps
  5. Click Filing. On smaller devices, click the menu icon in the upper left-hand corner, then click Filing.

  7. Proceed through amendment questions
  8. Print the amended return and mail to the IRS with a copy of the original return and a copy of the proper documentation proving your right to claim the child

Second Option: You can print a paper return and mail it to the IRS.

PLEASE NOTE: The second option will take longer to receive a refund because the IRS will need to investigate each return to determine who has the right to claim the dependent and adjust the returns appropriately before issuing a refund.
 
Per the IRS FAQ Age/Name/SSN Rejects, Errors, Correction Procedures, you should not attach any documents not required with your return. If the IRS needs additional documentation to support your claiming the dependent, they will contact you by mail.
 
The IRS will continue to reject attempts to e-file this return until the dependent is removed, no matter which tax preparation method is used.
