REJECTION CODES F1040-513 and F1040A-513

Spouse Listed as Primary Taxpayer or Dependent on Another Return.

If your return was rejected because your spouse's SSN was listed as the primary taxpayer or dependent on another return, please verify that the Social Security Number entered for the spouse is correct. This information should be the same as that printed on the spouse's social security card.

If the information was NOT entered correctly, make the appropriate changes and resubmit your return.

3. Click the Spouse tab at the top, enter the correct Social Security Number for your spouse, then click Continue.
