As i am single . but my application was rejected because of this code it says someone claimed me as a dependenat. But noone is suppsoed to. I tried to contact tubrotax and they told me to contact the irs but they are not accepting cause due to being understaffed i called the victims number for identity theft and same they are not accepting calls due to under staff. I am stuck and dont know what to do please help

Unfortunately, TurboTax does not have the capability of reviewing returns to tell you where your social security number was used, whether it be in the case of identity theft or if used by someone who claimed you. This will need to be resolved with the IRS.

You may want to ask any close family members, such as parents or grandparents, if they claimed you. That would be the best place to start. Information regarding tax identity theft can be found in the links below.
