You get this error when the dependent's Social Security number you entered in the return was used on another return this year.

note
The value represents the Social Security number (SSN) of the dependent causing the rejection.
Solution
- Go toOrganizer, thenGeneral Information.
- SelectDependents, thenDependent Input.
- Select the dependent whose SSN caused the rejection.
- Double check theSocial Security Number (or ITIN / ATIN):
- If the SSN is not correct, correct it. Do a full recompute, then recreate the e-file.
- If the SSN is correct, find out if the dependent filed their own return and claimed their exemption. If they didn't, contact the IRS e-Help Desk at 866-255-0654.
