Hi my 2024 returns have been rejected twice. Its because my mom is my dependent, but on her federal return, she forgot to check the box she can be claimed on someone elses return. When I efiled my returns, they were rejected. (She already efiled an amended return correcting on her end). Whats the best way to correct my situation considering filing deadline is next tuesday? Also, since the returns were rejected, will de direct debits that I authorized be cancelled in turbontax?

thanks

If you cannot e-file then nothing went to the IRS and the IRS does not have your information for a direct debit. When you have the SSN problem caused by a dependent who did not answer correctly in MY INFO, you have two options. You do not need to wait for her to amend for either option.

Print, sign, and mail your return.

Or get an IP PIN for her and try to e-file.

GET IP pin in order to e-file if your dependent’s SSN was claimed on another return
