EFILE ERROR IND-517

Recommended Posts

TAXPAYER RECEIVED REJECTION ERROR IND-517 INDICATING A DEPENDENT'S SSN (SON) WAS USED ON A FEDERAL RETURN WHERE THE DEPENDENT CLAIMED A DEPENDENCY DEDUCTION.

NO DEPENDENCY EXEMPTION/DEDUCTION WAS CLAIMED ON THE SON'S RETURN AS FILED (LINE 6a WAS NOT CHECKED). THE SON'S FEDERAL RETURN HAS ALREADY BEEN ACCEPTED.

HOW CAN THE REJECTION CODE BE CORRECTED ON THE FEDERAL RETURN WHERE THE DEPENDENT EXEMPTION IS CORRECTLY BEING TAKEN?

The return will have to be paper filed.  Is there an ex-spouse that might have claimed the son's exemption?  If you can't figure out who claimed the exemption, there is also the possibility that it could be a case of identity theft of the son's SSN.

This page of links should help you and your client get started and figure this out. The first link in the Individuals section and the second one for Tax Pros will get your started. I'd suggest that your client file form 14039.

Unrelated, but would you please turn off your caps lock. It's considered shouting to post in all caps, and it is also not as easy to read.
