Boatman8827 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 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? Quote
jklcpa Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 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. 1 Quote
Boatman8827 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Posted April 1, 2017 THERE IS NO EX-SPOUSE AND PARENTS ARE TAKING EXEMPTION ON JOINT RETURN. CAN YOU SUGGEST HOW TO GO ABOUT SEEING IF THERE WAS IDENTIFY THEFT? Quote
jklcpa Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 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. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/identity-protection 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. Quote
