jamclaiborne Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I tried filing my tax return and I am getting this error code F1040-512-- Your dependents SSN cannot be used to claim an exemption on two separate returns. You claimed a dependent as an exemption on your tax return, but this dependent has also filed their own tax return claiming a person exemption. The dependents are my parents and I filed both of their tax returns using Married Filing Separately and claimed 0 expemtions. Their income is below the threshold and I checked, everything seems to be correct. Is anyone else having this issue as well. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I would dare to say you did not correctly prepare your parents' returns. I would like to know what software give you such a detailed explanation of the error codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their returns, are the boxes on Form 1040, page 1, line 6a and 6b blank, or are the boxes checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcjenkins Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 That would be code 0510, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamclaiborne Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yes, I used turbotax for it and no, both 6a and 6b were blank and im a professional and a CPA. It has never happened before. I was wondering if any of you had similar issue using any other software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've never had this error code, and the only times we've seen postings about this here have been when it was user error where the preparer inadvertantly had the boxes checked on the depedents' returns to claim themselves. Your only course of action is to paper file the returns. If somehow those boxes are checked on your parents' returns in the IRS system, then you will receive notices or if there is a change in tax. I'll apologize for anyone automatically assuming you were a nonprofessional. It was probably because your question involved your own return and those of your parents. Especially at this time of year, we do have regular people not in the profession post questions while attempting to prepare their own returns, and the members on this site are here to help other pros, not give out free advice to the public that might not understand the reason for our answers.
