HOH errors

[pride16]

I am filing a client who is HOH. Checked the HOH status and entered dependent information.  Program shows 2 errors and wants dependents name and ssn in the nondependent section. What am I missing?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

So the child is a dependent and qualifies the TP as HOH?  What code do you have marked in the last column of the dependent area?  Is it Coded L ?

[The-Tax-Lady]

Once you enter the info in the Dependent section that will go away.

[pride16]

Yes, dependent qualifies him for HOH.  It is coded L.

[pride16]

Dependent is already listed in the dependent section.  That's why I'm confused.

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

Ive seen in the past people mention this, switch the filing status to Single, then switch back to HOH, does that clear it?

[Just-Lisa-Now-]

Oh wait, whats the relationship you have chosen for the dependent?

[pride16]

Didn't work

Daughter

Id start over from scratch, on the dependent line Right click > Remove Line in table, then reenter her.

Still shows the errors in Forms in Use but it doesn't show the highlights in the nondependent section anymore

Just in case, you could work through the Dependent Wizard to confirm the daughter qualifies. Interactive wizards portal for determining dependency:

She qualifies him.
