Was putting in the taxpayer's info when i got to head of household, it turned pink and said that this person is being claimed as a dependent on another return. HOW do i find out where or which return? It also states this for one of her children on her return.

It seems someone claimed your client on their return. There is no way you can find out who claimed him/her. Only your client can guess who else could have claimed. This situation is very common with separated parents and Head of Household where both parents claim the same dependent. This is only my guess. I have come across a few of such situation.

You received this error when you were filling out the info worksheet screen? I've never seen this error until I file the return and it comes back rejected saying dependent social security number used. How is proseries looking at all the returns? Did you enter the info in the lines next to the HOH box and then again in the dependent section?

Are you sure thats what it said? Or did it say the child is listed as a dependent on THAT return? Do you have the kid entered in the Dependent area?
