You'll have to file a CA amended return to remove the dependent that the other parent claimed....is the other parent in CA too?  Im surprised that the CA didn't reject.

So if I have a bad EIN on a W2 the fed rejects and CA rejects along with it....but CA doesn't catch duplicate SSNs?  dumb!

I'm also surprised CA doesn't.  Wasn't sure if CA would reject later.  I had another similar return  but CA was rejected with the federal return.  Not sure how/why the other was rejected but this was accepted.  Thanks for the comments.

It's California.... STOP looking for the logic :wink:

   so true!:joy:
