My return was rejected and when I click fix my return it says to double check the social and dependent status as my social showed up as a dependent on another return. But I can’t figure out how to go back into the return to see what was is there to double check it ?

That reject code means that someone else claimed you as a dependent on their tax return.  If you want to file your tax return the way it is, you will have to print and mail it.

 

if you are going to mail your return, review the IRS website Where to file paper tax returns with or without a payment? For mailing addresses. Include your W-2s and any 1099s that have tax withheld. Refer to the IRS Tax Tip HOW TO PREPARE YOUR TAX RETURN FOR MAILING for additional information.

 

To find out the address to mail your state return you need to check your State Department of Revenue website to get the address . Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I contact my state's Department of Revenue?  and select your state.

 

If your parents (or someone else) is claiming you on their tax return, when completing your taxes, make sure that you state that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. ‌TurboTax can handle that for you.

 

Refer to the TurboTax article: How do I indicate that I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return? for detailed navigation instructions.
