IND-517-02: 'DependentSSN' in the return must not be the same as Primary or Spouse SSN on another return where Primary or Spouse have not indicated that they could be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. Visit www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/identity-theft-dependents for additional information. To electronically file with this duplicate condition, an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) will be required. If you wish to get an IP PIN and you don't already have an account on IRS.gov, then you must register to validate your identity. Please visit www.irs.gov/getanippin for further information and resubmit your return with an IP PIN.
Please note this reject code comes directly from the IRS. This article is intended to help you fix the field causing the reject code. Please follow the step by step guide to resubmit your return.
What does this rejection mean?
The IRS has rejected your return because a dependent you claimed already filed their federal tax return without indicating themselves as being a dependent.
To resolve this rejection, verify that the dependent's name and SSN matches what is shown on their Social Security card and correct the entries on the Dependent and Household Member Information page if needed. To eFile your return while still claiming this dependent, the inclusion of dependent's Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is required.
Otherwise, you can remove the dependent from your return on the Dependent and Household Member Information page and resubmit your federal return.
If you wish to continue claiming this dependent, you can request an IP PIN for this dependent if they don't have one already on IRS.gov by registering and validating their identity. Please visit www.irs.gov/getanippin for further information and resubmit your return with an IP PIN. Otherwise, you can paper file this return and add an explanation of why you are paper filing with this dependent.
