Most of the time, this rejection happens when you try to file a return where you aren't a dependent after someone else, usually a parent, has already claimed you as a dependent.

If that is the case and you agree that you were a dependent for 2023:

Sign in to TurboTax Online and select Fix my return.
On the Let's fix your return and then refile screen, select Fix my return.
Select My info, then Edit near your name.
Continue until you get to Let's check for some other situations.
Select the check box next to, Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
When you're finished, select Continue to File and continue until you e-file your return.

If you don't agree that you were a dependent, carefully check your name and Social Security number. If there are any errors, correct them and re-file your return.

If you aren't a dependent for 2023, and your name and Social Security number are correct, you need to print and mail in your tax return.

so if my parents claimed me with out my permission how do i resolve this just print and mail them?

And that will undo what they did

It depends. Do you qualify as their dependent? If you qualify as their dependent, they don't necessarily need your permission. If they agree to not claim you as a dependent, they would need to file an amendment of their return, removing you as a dependent. Then you could paper file your return. There will be no way for you to e-file at this point.

A dependent must meet the requirements of a qualifying child or a qualifying relative in order for someone to claim you on your tax return.

The tests for a qualifying child are:

Relationship: Must be your child, adopted child, foster child, brother or sister, or a descendant of one of these (grand or nephew).

Residence: Must have the same residence for more than half the year.

Age: Must be under age 19 or under 24 and a full-time student for at least 5 months. They can be any age if they are totally and permanently disabled.

Support: The dependent must not have provided more than half of their own support during the year.

Joint Support: The child cannot file a joint return for the year.

The tests for a qualifying relative are:

Qualifying Child: They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child.”

Gross Income: The dependent being claimed earns less than $4,700 in 2023.

Total Support: You provide more than half of the total support for the year.

Member of Household or Relationship: The person (a friend, girlfriend, non-blood relative) must live with you all year as a member of your household or be related to you.
